Re: My 52 GMC Build
Ok, lol...I got all nervous when I seen all those relays. I you tubed my butt off and got a general idea of it and how to wire them. As usual, I'm a long ways away from this in my build but the wiring is one of my largest concerns and gets me worried. I learned a lot tonight and my kind is at ease for now.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I'd like to see some more info on your heater when you get to that part.

Nice, I like that starter button. And...I'm interested in your heater option also.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
that heater looks awesome, def something to think about. Let us know how it works and sounds. I spent hours routing my heater hose and getting coolant all over me. 1st heater/ac unit I had was garbage, so I had to replace it. Ever since I hooked up my heater I now can't seem to get an air pocket out of the system, either that or ironically my temp gauge is malfunctioning. anyway, I like the fact that this is a USA brand and they have some confidence in their product.
Nice panels

Lookin killer. What's on the far left of your electrical panel? Are you planning to put a cover over it?

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Excited to see this truck out and about this summer! I had a shop in Breslau (beside the airport) up until April when I moved to London.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
High quality looking job on the wiring Lower. Make that 3X or 4X on the heater deal. The one in my '46 is a POS and I'm looking for an original to rebuild or a quailty alternative.

Thanks I figure for the small amount of time it will be used, it's a much better option. Also I have a rebuilt 110A altinator.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Ah sweet, that heater should heat that cab fine if it's sealed up good. Wiring looks legit. I'm still being a puss just thinking about my wiring, haha.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Thanks for the link on the heater, I think it may work for me. A few years ago, I bought one of those heaters that plugs into the cigarette lighter, and it put out very little heat.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Wow wiring takes forever and you don't get much to show for it. On Friday I made a new glow plug wire harness. Took 2.5 hrs for basically a piece of 8ga wire with 8 bullet connectors. Today I made the wire harness for the front of the motor: fuel on, tps, temp, alt.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I can firmly back you up on that wiring takes forever. Looming all the wires, heat shrink and making it neat. 60 hrs into a full custom wire job with bags isn't far off.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
You got that right!
Making your own wiring takes up a lot of time! Glow plug harness is looking good tho!!
