I would hate to relocate a work bench, that is the highest level of commitment to the tidying up job.

Thanks for the call.

I think I also have the same harness as Martin, bought from the same vendor, but via eBay

It is the E-Z Wiring 21 fuse unit.

Lovely bit of kit and was priced right.

...plus I am super stoked right now, I just ordered my wiring harness, will post pics next week when the big brown truck arrives...

Ta2Don · 05-25-2016, 12:43 PM

After some research this morning, I decided on the speedway harness, recommended by Bomp cuz that's what Dino uses...

Thanx Greg!!!

It comes with Headlight Switch and Dimmer as well as other bauble and bits, I also ordered the adapter to work with the OG steering column connector...

All told, just under $220 to the door...

TJ's Chevy · 05-25-2016, 02:45 PM

Calipers look great man! And that's a nice harness!

mjh1965 · 05-25-2016, 06:19 PM

So does that mean you want me over to help fit the harness then Don

Ta2Don · 05-25-2016, 06:28 PM

You're always welcome mate!

**clemdaddy** · 05-26-2016, 06:35 AM

good choice on the harness Don and the calipers look great. that clean shop will motivate you to work up a new mess and thats a good thing.

My thoughts exactly Sir!!!

ChrisDollins · 05-26-2016, 03:32 PM

Looking good Don. I should probably do the wiring harness at some point too. Won't be long and you'll be cruising.

Chris

ibrown50 · 05-26-2016, 03:52 PM

Don be careful inviting Martin over, he's single you know

who Knows what mischief he might get up to.

Brake calipers look great and you just can't beat a box of Cubans

Thanks Guyz!!! ...but I already cut the red and the blue wires...

Had Saturday and Sunday off... Saturday was my lovely wife's birthday, so no truck time, although I did get to sneak away for a bit to a local car show...

I met up with Clint, aka Arkyhauler, and his brother... Here's Clint's '64 GMC...

I had taken a pic of Clint sitting in the plymouth, but it was too out of focus...

The rest of the day was spent doing things with the wife for her birthday...

NevEno · 05-31-2016, 10:21 PM

Calipers do look good Don. Good luck wiring!

Ta2Don · 06-06-2016, 06:20 PM

Fast forward to Sunday... err, should I say Spaghetti Sunday...

Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr
I started on the Wiring... so far I have the fuse box mounted, the Dimmer switch and dome light completed, the distributor and water temp sender wired, and the wires out to the headlights, back to the taillights, and up to the Gauge cluster...

Looking good Don . Don't forget to feed the wires through a grommet in the bulkhead , before you connect them all up .

TJ's Chevy · 06-06-2016, 09:03 PM

Fun times brotha! X2 with the above post.

Looks great so far Don.

Like the photos Saless took of you.

You look very happy there.

As Martin said, do remember the grommet.

It's the kind of forgetting I would do.

You have gone a long way forward now.
