What is this?

On my 1971 Chevrolet C10 (V-8, auto, 2WD, LWB) I am redoing some of the wiring. Located on the passenger side fenderwell (just rearward of the battery) is a breaker assembly and a funky-looking fuse panel.

Does anyone know that they are for?

Although it has been since removed (by the previous owner), my truck was originally fit with air conditioning. Was this breaker and fuse panel combination for the A/C system? (If so, I can disconnect it from the battery power source as it is no longer needed??)

Re: What is this?

This is some POs home made circut, hard telling what for. Trace out the wires and see where they go. They probably just dead end some where, in that case I would remove them.

Re: What is this?

I'm thinking the PO added some electrical widgets that needed extra circuits. Try removing the fuses one at a time and see what quits working.

Re: What is this?

as said... not stock at all. If the truck had a camper on it, it could be a vitage mod... something from the camper company or original owner. (looks to be a very old mod judging by the tape and stuff)
