In my vehicle both of the turn signal lights had to be hooked up and working to get them to flash... I did the same thing you are doing and you must complete the turn light connections to see if they are working. Needs both bulbs to complete the circuit.

I feel like an idiot now.

If I would have thought of the simple stuff I would have thought of that. Your right if a bulb is burnt it wouldn't flash. I'll mock up a front turn and see what happens. Thanks

I was going to mention a digital flasher relay too, but the dash lights probably would not flash if you didnt already have one

Do you have any more info on this. In the mean time I'll try to do a search about it.

I hooked up a bulb for the front turn signal and the turn signals work. I did both circuits. High beam indicator is staying on, but I will deal with that once the headlights are in.

Google search should turn up some good info as I understand when running LED's of any type you need a digital/electronic flasher,

The voltage is so low on led's that they don't generally draw enough amps to pull a regular analog flasher

You are running rear LED's right? at least I thought you were

57truckguy · 01-26-2012, 12:18 AM

Good work Alan we all need a 2/4 upside the head ever once in a while.. LOL

Alan's Classic · 01-27-2012, 11:28 AM

**chevy_man5** · 01-27-2012, 12:22 PM

WOW, way to go Alan!!

Jeff La · 01-27-2012, 12:22 PM

Well it took a while but I read the complete build. Really great work and after seeing the appraisal, it really is motivational to do things right. Your talents are exceptional.
What I have figured out is I'm gonna get the 65 running and driving and then start a complete build on the 66, Being able to enjoy one while working on the other is grea therapy

65Custom · 01-27-2012, 01:29 PM

That is great Alan!! something for the rest of us to try to shoot for

likaroc13 · 01-27-2012, 11:33 AM

Cha-ching!!!

congrats buddy

**66ChevyMax** · 01-27-2012, 01:52 PM

That's awesome, congrats! Did you tell him that wouldn't cover the LABOR!

**Palf70Step** · 01-27-2012, 02:06 PM

Good news. I guess you'll never go to Walmart in it now.

Congrats on the appraisal...now make sure your insurance is up to par ASAP!!! And what a great calling card this truck will be....

daverod · 01-27-2012, 02:30 PM

Thanks Jeff, glad you took the time to read my story. Hope you learned at least one thing from it. Looks like you have a solid plan of driving one and restoring one. If money is an issue start buying your parts now.

I'm very pleased with his appraisal. There is a lot of talent here on the forum. Y'all can do it as well.

He's been in the body business 35 years and knows what it takes to restore one.

Not unless I'm sitting in it. Of course there is a Hooters in our Walmart parking lot. I have to get the girls around it.

That's funny right there.

We all know appraisals are personal opinions. At least I have a number for it and it was someone elses opinion and not my own.

It's a long story about my valve covers, but want y'alls opinion of my valve covers. I'm not gonna say what I think right now, so it doesn't influence others.

57truckguy · 01-27-2012, 05:10 PM

I love your covers.. I think they go with the theme of your build.. very classiy retro..
But you are asking what I would use it would be either a solid alumiun cast maybe ball milled, or retro finned with red painted between the fins or orange to match the truck.

Just my 2 cents.

chad64chevy · 01-27-2012, 05:11 PM

Congrats on the appraisal!! hows the hood coming along?? did you get your light problem fixed?? valve covers look good, i dont like alot of shiny chrome stuff anyways! but thats just me, lol!!

**chevy_man5** · 01-27-2012, 05:33 PM

I like the valve covers. They kind of match the engine to the truck. Orange on the bottom, and silver on top.

aggie91 · 01-27-2012, 05:47 PM

Congrats on the appraisal!

As far as the valve covers, I don't think the gray/silver paint looks right given that the headers are coated in a bright shinny silver and the air cleaner is chrome. Too much going on there...JMHO...I would have stayed with the polished covers. If your going to paint them, then do the air cleaner cover and the accesory brakets too.

Can't wait to see it with the hood and moldings on!

^^^ this might do the trick...but are they painted the same silver as the truck? looks lighter in the pics

i agree that something isn't quite clicking for me...i agree that polished would probably look better unless some of the other accessories/brackets are painted too

McMurphy · 01-28-2012, 12:23 AM

Alan,
I was going to try and tell you what I thought.
I would do a two color fill on this valve cover. The lettering all in black and the heartbeat wavelength with a black back and orange inner.

But since I dont express myself too well sometimes, I figured I would show you instead. Please forgive my poor photoshop skills!

I saved the image in stages so you could see different aspects and maybe help you envision something you like better!!

Best regards and good luck!
