Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

The 63 Chevy switch works on the GMC.
GMC trucks aren't Chevy, weren't built by Chevy....
I wonder when the vendors are going to wake up to that so guys like us don't have to educate everyone we buy parts from eh Vernski?? :lol:
:5150:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hey Tincan that would be great here's a couple of pics mine works fine electrically, only it won't cancel turning right as you can see the prong is broken off and they don't make any replacement parts for these that were mfg by Boyne and all the new replacements are made out of all plastic...Vernski

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hi PMD I tried a 63 it lined up as far as the mounting holes, but the color code was different and that one would also fit a full size car Impala ect. Thanx Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I'll post a couple pics of what I have. I am even more confused now, LOL! Neither of my parts columns had a steering wheel, so no horn button for ID. My '65 that was in the truck looks like your aswitch, but has different colored wires. One of the parts columns has a different type switch but the same wires colors like a later model.

May just send you all I have, if you want them, Vernski. I am not going to use any of them-maybe some pieces you can use. PM me an address, and I'll bag and tag 'em.

Wow man don't sell it :/

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Suzq I think this is a grey area, I re-read all of Tincans posts and I don't see where he said he was asking what it was worth or if I wanted to buy, wanted to trade and or if it was for sale. My take on it was he wanted to give me the parts, so is giving something away against the rules now? Purdy fine line I'd say...Vernski:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Mine said 63 Nova and several other models.
The colors did not match up but it works flawlessly. :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

PMD that's interesting that it worked when the colors didn't match up, I tried to get that one I had to work unmatched or matched and a bunch of different combinations and nothing worked. Sure had allot of weird stuff going on with it though. It all was working fine with the old switch just wouldn't cancel to the right, wish I could find the part for the old one oh well life will go on thanx...Vernski:waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I think I remember Suzq had said in her post that she was selling her truck, so the admins modified her post. I don't think that was directed at Tincan. I may be wrong though...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got mine from Brutha's... ( not advertising )
Plugged it in and drove down the road...
Never had an issue

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Here's pics of what I have:
First is what was in the '65 broken upper collar and all plastic switch-odd wire colors and broken.
Second is from parts column. Metal base to switch-later style wiring colors-has different mounting screw locations and heavier upper collar. Both were three speed manual columns. Not sure of parts column originality.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

What I did to solve my turn signal problem was get a 66 Chevy signal cup. If the parts geeks send you a Chevy turn signal switch, change the stuff around it to fit Chevy. So :gmc2: owners the other route is to get a 63 Chevy turn signal switch only the color code is not right. I have visions of changing out this chinese turn signal switch every few years. Just to bad they don't make parts so you could repair the original one, most of it was made of metal and built to last all except the canceling posts. Thanks Tincan for your help and nice that there is people like you out there...Vernski:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That turned out really nice. There are times I wish I had kept mine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I had that same problem with the emergency brake cables that connect to the backing plates. GMC’s with Dana rear ends use a different cable with unique attaching brackets (at least 1960 GMC’s did). After ordering “GMC” cables from several suppliers and always receiving conventional Chevy cables, I gave up and had special brackets fabricated so I could use Chevy cables instead, also making any future replacements less aggravating.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Began to get organized to start work to get my 65 back on the road. New bed strips/bolts are on order. Knocked all the old bed wood out of it, and got the battery charger on it. Noticed it still has the original rear shocks! Also was happy to find out the factory radio still works perfectly... once the antenna is up ;)

Wow I love the Design

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Not a choice. Have to. He's got to go. We have zero money with which to move, and the move HAS to happen; there's no choice. It sucks, but hey, whoever gets him, gets two engines one 90% rebuilt 400sbc, and the 283 (factory size, but not original engine)... sigh.

The mods are really getting into this whole sales thing. If I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD. <_<

:waah:

Lubed the throttle linkage, was hanging just a hair and bled the brakes for a better pedal. Then washed off all the lovely pollen that we get here in the sandhills of NC. Whole truck looked yellow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I am allergic to Pollen, and here In Lincolnton it is so bad

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I stripped my 65 C10 step DS fender with a polycarbonate disc. Fast and cheap. Rest will be done with media blasting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Lug that is exactly what I need !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I use my 20% off coupon at Harbor Freight and they end up costing me about 4.25 each. I like the 4.5" size. Be aware which way the disc is rotating on edges. I used up 1/2 of one disc on that fender. The remaining areas that I couldn't get to will be blasted, but the disc is less messy and it literally erases paint and rust. Even takes off the factory undercoating if you work carefully. It's my paint stripper of choice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh alright I need something for a Paint remover on my Truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got some of my new parts in. Just waiting for the back ordered tail light wiring harness, powder-coated trailing arms, rear shock re-locator kit and adjustable panhard bar. I have to go back to work tomorrow but its going to rain all weekend so no biggy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nice parts man

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Always fun to get new stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Fixed my right blinker. The metal tabs that touch the bottom of the bulb didn't have enough spring in em and wasn't touching the bulb contacts. And needed to sand/clean off where the socket grounds to the housing. Legal beagle now!
