I ran across a few old picture of two 72 Chevy trucks I once had. The first was a Custom Deluxe and was super solid with no rust.The second truck I built up from a bone stock C-10 with a six cylinder and a 350 TH trans. I ended up put a 350 in place of the six added power steering, brakes, lowered it with a 4/6 drop with new paint and Super Cheyenne interior. My son ended up with the truck. The picture is of him standing next to it. Sorry for the poor quality picture, it was scanned from a photo.

CAL 58 GMC · 02-21-2007, 11:45 AM

Once again, thanks for all the compliments! I found that I will need to move the brake light swicth to under the cab so that the arm will reach the brake arm. After I install it I will post a few more pictures.

Yeah I need to replace my camera but I should have some on here soon

samcrf450 · 02-21-2007, 04:41 PM

When I had my truck together and I would turn on the headlights the parking lights under the head lights would go out. Was my switch bad or did you wire it differently? I like the look of the lights always being on.

I used American Auto Wire's complete wiring kit and followed the wiring diagram it came with. I would think that they should of come on with the headlights unless some one has changed some of the wiring or like you said, the headlight switch is bad.

Kabwe · 02-22-2007, 09:06 PM

What made you go with that wiring kit vs. ez wiring, painless, etc. ? Just curious thats all. I have to buy one on the 55 210 I went with Ron Francis and it was pretty expensive so I looking at other options for the Truck.
