John when you go to that junkyard get me any nice trim you can find 67-68. If ya can. I'll pay ya back + shipping if you can get it without being ripped off. Thanks man!!

[oldblue1968chevy]

haha I need alot of trim too man, if i have any extra i'll let you know...Right now I dont have any extra there was a guy with a 68cst that said i could take ANYTHING off it (i needed some wiring) i didnt wanna be greedy so didnt take anything, callec back later to ask about trim etc and he scrapped it

[slick copper]

DARN!! Oh Well. Maybe I should just wait and buy new. I'd feel better in the end I guess.

[oldblue1968chevy]

Just hunt for misc pieces on the board install as you get it..

[oldblue1968chevy]

What kind did you go with? Id like to make this one last till march (i'll leave for basic training, maybe they'll let me have a day off to look for truck cabs in S Tx LOL).

I'll park it then, i"ll probably start an entire thread on that..

[oldblue1968chevy]

here ricky

[oldblue1968chevy]

thanks dad! (only will be using this battery for a few months then it'll go in the toyota).

Ps, I need the clip that holds the trim on the door, the clip at the very back of the trim, mines floppy and afriad it'll get broken, dont wanna put a drywall screw in it LOL

On the list now is to figure out wehre those wires on the (+) can go (to make it cleaner) and get a battery box patch pannel!

[oldblue1968chevy]

3 Wires to battery

Fusebox (i think)
headlight relays
alternator wire

Where are these supposed to go lol

[67chevy1series]

trim looks awesome! only one more peice and your driver side is done! do you have all the passenger trim on already? the wires i would just cut them shorter so they run with the battery until they get to the radiator support better.

[oldblue1968chevy]

You lost me on the battery, where is the CORRECT place to put em, or do you know?

Thanks

I pretty much have no passenger trim, I really need the end clip for the trim on the driver door....

[Hubscrub]

i only have one wire going to the battery, (I'm not a fan of hooking straight to it) the one that runs across the core support (factory big red wire). It runs to a junction of 3 or 4 big reds on the driver side. heres some wiring dia.

[usmcchevy]

From the factory they had a "junction block" It would be on your fender right next to the battery. Also should be a fusable link in there someplace.

Cleaned my tires yesterday while it was warm out with hot bathwater and comet (comet makes the whitewall shine!).

Better pic of my trim cant wait to get the last piece on (gota order some clips via carqeust).

Trying to get my washer pump to work, no luck yet lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

Really need to get around to lowering the rear a few inches (2" would be ideal)= 2" drop front and rear, keep the rake, but a slight drop as well
