Lights & voltmeter
 
I hooked up some lights for the ramp truck so I can see at night if I ever have to load/unload anything.
Plus I added a digital volt meter to keep a eye on the battery charge.

Lookin good Andy, can't have too much light on a dark night. And after my recent electrical issues I can sure appreciate the value of a good voltmeter. ;)

Yes sir, This ramp truck is a work in progress. It has a bunch of small issues I need to address but it's slow. Next major thing is swapping out the steering column. I have a tilt I have rebuilt it and turned it into a 4 speed tilt. I shaved the indicator off and took all the automatic stuff off of it.

Just some more info:
I ran the 12 volt wire for lights down to the solenoid I installed earlier for the winch & air compressor. I put a 40amp relay in it and just ran a wire off the fuse block to the switch to trigger the relay. Those bed lights are getting full 13.5 volts when on.
If anybody ever tailgates me they will get a eye full!:lol::chevy:

Nice! How about a bit more detail on the voltmeter? Does it plug into the cigarette lighter?

Yes.
I bought 15 of them to install in golf carts. They read 0-100 volts 2 wire hook up. I put a cig connector on this one and use it in vehicles when I'm doing stuff but I decided to leave it in the ramp truck.

I had it in the 56 while on the 2018 Power tour to keep a eye on the battery.
