Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Took the Speedo Gear off
Cleaned it up after this photo, but I didn't see the plastic gear in there, and have no idea how to take it apart to replace the Gear Currently trying to figure out when I pull the headlight switch knob the gauges work, and when I turn the key the dash lights turn on ![]() Going to print this out for Reference I did unplug and switch wires"I think" probably, I can get it done tomorrow if I can print this out somewhere

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Always nice to get the new patch panels, now the work begins...
I would fix the doors first, hinge pocket if needed and get them aligned to the cab. Then then do the corner and step, bracing the upper part if necessary to keep the alignment. A few guys have had to modify the doors because the lower cab moved around during repair.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
The Dome lights wiring is completely different than what is on the truck right now?
Can't find the wiring since I took the dome light off.Found out the issue with the gauges moving when I turned on the headlight switch, Some wire I had grounded to the fuse box... When I took it off when the headlight switch was on the gauges went back to normal.. I believe it goes to the Heater(NOT SURE) But when I turn on the headlights I could turn the Heater on and when they were off I couldn't really weird ... Got a Cab corner as well Buying Door things here soon

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
Dome light should be orange wire and white wire, running from the light switch up the front door ("A") pillar then around the top/side to the dome hole. Don't pull the wires out of the pillar, it can be a challenge to get them back up there. If the headliner is out and the wires are AWOL bend up a wire and start fishing down between the inner and outer cab above the door, you should hook them. I had to do this when I used the old wires to pull in the new harness.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
The old Factory dome light was a Single prong connector like on the ignition switch. How do I hook it up? What end do I need
Does one of the wires go to the fusebox? if so the wires are way way too short

ground wire from the dome light goes back to the light switch white ground for dome light if you add door switches hook them to the white ground for dome light there is no fuse in the circuit only the bimetal spring for overload protection that protects the brake and tail lights if you need to run new wires to the dome light use plastic strapping like what is used to strap packages for a fish tape run it up the drivers side windshield pillar and pull 2 wires down ![]()

The orange also has a second wire that is power to the dome, see post 122.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
got to tell man probably would be easier if you bought a new wiring harness. new harness is around $140 plus few extra dollars for misc. but youll be all new and pretty I put one in my truck had a few hiccups but I'm pretty happy

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
With the title in hand it should not be any problem getting it titled "officially" in your name. If you have someone else doing the welding make sure all the old rust is removed and not the new panel layed over the old. I've seen that before.

Re: Project "Schrum" 1959 Gmc 100
No clue on the dome light, GMC must be different than Chevy. Maybe just on or off with no dimming???
