Re: My 68 swb build.
thanks guys...i got the front lights spliced and soldered to factory pigtails the other night and they work...but theres something wired wrong under the dash..or in the steering column harness. with all the lights off, the left blinker is on 100%of the time, and the same when you turn on the running lights, but get this, i pull the hazards, and it goes off...something on the ezwiring harness has to be mislabeled....guess its back to a meter, test light and trial/error till i figure it out.

Re: My 68 swb build.
i have a problem with the column and i cant figure it out. someone please chime in and help me out....heres what i got goin on...
steering column is aftermarket of course, but wires are typically the same color. On the OEM pigtail i have White, green, yellow, purple, brown, d. blue, lt. blue and black. im assuming the black is the horn due to its on its own relay. someone correct me if im wrong. on the steering column the colors are matched to the OEM pigtail...White, green, yellow, purple, brown, d.blue, GREY, and black. When i pull the hazard switch out(suppose to be active on flashers) everything is off. (this is backwards, hmmm..) When i push the hazard switch in(suppose to be off) my flashers come on. With switch out, i have power on the brown wire, and with the switch in, i have hazards and all but the black and purple wire are hot, flashing with the flashers....nothing on the cluster works(turn signal lights) and the turn signal lever doesnt even phase a thing...

Re: My 68 swb build.
I think I got it maybe....did some thinking and realized that the purple wire is supposed to be the hot wire not the brown wire which is the hazards according to the diagram I had the manufactured send me black..horn lt.blue..left front turn. D.blue..right front signal brown..hazard. Purple..turn signals main power. Yellow..left rear turn. Green..right rear turn white..Brake light

Re: My 68 swb build.
neither can i, getting tired of not driving it...lol
thanks...maybe a little cooler when its done... the tone of the huggers vs the hedman headers is totally different...much deeper tone and no back fire!! after i got the headers on, i drove the truck around the storage unit round and round until i heard it shift into 3rd gear and it was pretty smooth...and with these pipes theres a little more torque..

Re: My 68 swb build.
rented a u haul car trailer and go the truck over to the muffler shop to fix the magnaflow kit...junk fitment by the way...lol got everything up to the exit side of the mufflers. i think im just gonna turn them down in front of the axle and call it finished. it does have a nice deep rumble to it and i think ill be happy with the sound.
Also disassembled the bed and dropped it off at the body shop....hopefully it wont be too long until i get it back...

Re: My 68 swb build.
What year fuel door did you use in your rear fender? I'm starting to work on my bed and would like to get this welded in first.
