Its not like the wiring is complicated on that thing it wont take long to run it down.
Another thought and this is the part im not an expert on BUT im wondering if different years had different pinouts on the wiring for the front/rear brake light/turn signal harness and maybe you are mixing harnesses causing problems for yourself not even realizing it, like for instance if you are running 67-68 main harness and a 69-72 brake light/turn signal harness or vice versa, its worth checking into anyway imo.
Also make sure you have all the ground straps you are supposed to have on the truck.

well im very disappointed in someone... i pulled off my rear tail light lenses and someone other then me and my dad took my 2 element light bulb out and put in a single element bulb.... so after i put the correct 2 element bulb on the back turn signals are working perfectly, my curcuit board is not giving power to the right turn signal arrow in the dash and thats not completing my curcuit for my front parking light turn signal... so if i can juet get the curcuit board to cooperate with me then IM SET!!!

so next up
exhaust
defrosters
do the registration.

Is the one parklight your only problem? If you are using original light sockets you may have power and ground to the socket but no contact between the bulb and socket. Check that out.

you got it man! what really rubs me the wrong way is that, about a week ago my trucks turn signals were perfect... and then when i finally put the curcuit board in and tested them, they didnt work. and ive thought about it and thouht about it and i actually think one of my friends with a 72 took my bulb.... i woundt have cared really if he just asked and told me so i know to fix it later..... but hey he had to do what he had to do i guess.

anyways..... i have good news and i have good news. good news is that, THE LIGHTS ALL WORK! and the ither good news is that i cleaned the sheet out of all the connections i possibly could to get the lights to work, so now i have really clean connections even though i didnt need to clean them! LOL

All you have to do to trip him up is ask him if he got his tail light replaced because you noticed it was out and forgot to mention it, if he says he did ask him why he didnt tell you that he borrowed one of yours because it screwed yours up and you played hell figuring it out.
Now that you have clean connections dont forget to put some "clear" dialectric grease in each socket so water cant get in and short them out.

good score!! I'm the same way when I see any parts worth saving, a guy just has to do it

[67chevy1series]

heck yeah!


right now i really need to get my exhaust done!

update: EVERY single fuse in the fuse box is NEW lol i now have lights in the guages and heater AC contolr and my cigar lighter light!

my whole right side of my gauges dont light up though...... just the speedometer and the battery and temperature gauges light up and a little of the tach... so i still got some work to do.

[67chevy1series]

how is everyone mounting the clock in there tins? by that i mean the 2 tabs with mounting holes. how do you guys screw the clock to out tin? do you screw it to the black and green inner tin? or do you put sleeves inbetween the clock and the outer in inside and put a longer screw through? also does anyone know what size hole to drill in the lens? and my last question is: what do you guys do to take the letters off the lens without hurting the lens?

[67chevy1series]

There is an expert on the c10 instrument cluster on this board that repairs and customizes them, I cant think of who it is right off hand but he does work for quite a few people, im sure one of the guys can point you in the right direction, I just wish I could think of the guys name, but I bet he could tell you what the problem is in about two seconds if you asked.

Now you got me Curious, is there a video of the truck running so I can hear how loud it is without mufflers, if so what number post is it?
Now that I think about it where in gods name did you find a DZ302 motor in the first place?
Did you have to promise the devil your first born son at a crossroads with the contract signed in blood?
