Re: My 58 Fleetside
I acquired a 292 inline six this fall. Is that what you have there? I don't know what I will do with it cuz my truck already has a v8 327. I have heard that the big 292s are awesome though.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
Also I made a little bead blast cabinet. Tried it out today and it still needs a little tweaking.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
HELP! I'm trying to get my wiring harness back together, I got my truck in pieces and am trying to figure out the brake light circuit. I have 2 different wiring diagrams and neither one make sense to me. The first says that power comes from the light switch on a orange wire and then goes straight to the taillights. The second says that power comes from from the turn signal on a white wire (by means of magic) and goes straight to the taillights. Now the way I understand brake lights in relation to rear turn lamps is that they have to run a signal through the turn signal switch. So I want to believe that power comes from the light switch on the orange wire and then go to the turn switch through the white wire but the diagram doesn't make that seem the case.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
I didn't see how it ties into the turn signal switch. It doesn't show the two wires for the stop light switch itself. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this, thanks for trying to help the helpless

Re: My 58 Fleetside
Here is a copy of a 1959 passenger auto wiring diagram. I have found it helpful when trying to figure how how to wire in accessories that are not shown in the truck diagram. GM was pretty consistent in the wiring setup and colors, etc. between the cars and trucks. Hope it helps.

Re: My 58 Fleetside
I have a question that I hope one of you can help me with. I'm working on the passanger door and getting the seals put in, the problem I'm having is the vent window doesn't seem to have a top pivot. Is there a part I am missing or a step. Thanks

Re: My 58 Fleetside
green '
there should be a pivot pin (rivet) that holds the vent in place at the top - -most classic truck part places should carry them ( they are small) -you might be able to get away with useing a aluminum rivet but i have found that if the original rivets are available -go that route -it might be a bit awkward to hammer it in - take it time and a couple of goods whacks should do it . --- good luck |

Re: My 58 Fleetside
I got the right fender pretty much mounted. Wow it kinda sucks that process. And I'm still not completly happy with how it all lined up.... and I scratched the paint.
