i have come to a conclusion. i need the wiring to be a 7 hole guage and i need the 7 hole gauge to match the 7 hole wiring so i today have installed the new 7 hole 67 guage and cleaned it up and have plugged a couple things in...heres what didnt work and reasons why they didnt:
1 rear tail lights + not having the dash wiring plugged into it = not working
2 having 67 wiring which doesnt reach the passenger side to plug in= not working.

so now i need to get new fuses i need to know exactly where the spot light wire plugged into the fuse box... (john can you help me with this one?)
and i need the little relay plug for the flashers to be plugged in. after all that and new headlights i think i should see that 67 light up like the 4th of july!

[oldblue1968chevy]

[oldblue1968chevy]

Id wire to cig or ign. unfused (put a fuse in line) or the radio...

Probably ign unfused would be best...But in my case wiring to radio/cig would be ok too (no radio/cig lol

[67chevy1series]

ok i looked at my fuse box and theres a wire for either cig light or radio and it had from the factory (it looke like it factory) and i plugged the spot into that... i forgot to test so it was night time and member 1972hays was over and said hey lets show your dad your lights work! so we turned to ACC and started turning everything we could on to see how bright it was and tyler decided he was going to turn on the spotlight..... IT TURNED ON RIGHT AWAY! very cool im having trouble with the radio light and getting power and my windsheild motor and pump are shot i need bulbs for the park lamps and i need to mess with the wiring so i can plug it into the van nuetral saftey switch so my rear back up lights dont work other then that every thing works! i messed with the spot for awhile it was cool.... the battery didnt have full power though, and the spot didnt help if my spot still keeps draining the battery even when my engine is in and the alt. is doing its job then im putting in a auxillary battery just for the spot. anyways heres a pic!

[sleepertruck72]

Looks good Ricky ! I personally dont like spotlights because they remind me of Police pulling me over But they look good on these trucks. Make sure you have the battery charged and load tested to make sure it is a good battery before you add an aux. battery for the spotlamp. I really dont think you would need one just for it. The spotlamp looks just as bright as the headlights in the pic ! Thats cool, Nice progress

[67chevy1series]

haha thanks jorge!!!! im gonna have to follow you one dark night and shine my spot on you! n that would blind you lol no ill probably just shine it at your house while your there give you a little scare and when you come out side ill light em up!

That sounds funny but IF you manage to scare me... I have been trained to react in violent ways Sounds like youre close to driving that bad boy ! Thats awesome

[heeroyue2002]

nah the best way to lure jorge out is to walk by and pop open a can of mickeys. he'll come out in a flash.

IF you tried that, you would need ALOT of tall cans to get me out, but on the bright side, the reaction would be non-violent as long as they didnt run out
