Eturnit3- that looks like a swell gas cylinder holder... hahaha
I'm bugged by old electrics as is dammitmitchell. two of my vehicles have had hacked up wiring. My dd is a 93 sonoma with a 95/96 motor and 700r4(they came with 4l60's or 4l60e's) The wiring was a nightmare- original wiring tapped into homemade distro block. That tapped into the engine harness, and back into the stock harness. There were 3, yep 3 add on fuze blocks, each with wires running to nothing, and to critical parts.
I had to clean it all up before it started a fire.
in my 71, well, I found the old beer can and bondo body work in the cab. The bondo was shaped just right to mimic the floor.
and it wasn't until I started my fender project that I figured out why my wheel arches looked different. They had a little 'flare' on them, stuck out about 3/4" or so, Some guys who really know this truck would notice them.I assumed that it was rolled with a bat until I started to use them to make the bigger fenders. There was only bondo making the flare, way way underneath was the stock sheetmetal.
And then there's the average things- both doors had different keys I only got one of them, The radio was cut out for a newer style, with house speakers under the seat etc.
