C'mon guys...I really need a hand!! (Electrical) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I built my 72 GMC "Blaster" I used parts from any place I could get them...at any rate, when I got to the part of electrical, I found that my headlamps (high and low beam)
were reversed. eg: when the red lamp indicater is on on the dash only two of the four lamps would light up and when hitting the dimmer switch, the indicater will go out and all four lamps will burn. I replaced the dimmer "foot switch" but no change...
The only thing I can think of is that the wiring harness I used is from a Chevy, which means it's only wired for dual headlamps vs quads on a GMC....Has anyone had this prob??
HELP!!!
