Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan,
Anything above 16 volts & 1 amp should be more than enough the stop any flow. Just make sure the end with the strips are towards the alternator. Danny ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan, Changing the subject a little but I was looking at your build thread and was checking out your work on the C10 bed. Im still learning all this metal work and body work as I do this for a hobby. I have been watching my uncle for years that does bodywork for a living. He attended a seminar and they were talking about not putting body filler on top of bare metal, that you should prime the metal with an etching primmer sealer then do your mud work on top of that. They said the body filler hardens and causes the metal to sweat and create rust under the filler. I see guys building high end cars on tv and magizines putting filler all over bare metal. Whats your thoughts on this. I have been using the dynalight filler from carquest. any thoughts on this subject will be appreciated.
my build: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=439559

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan that diode was the one that was suggested by painless to use with their harness. It works great.

I did'nt want to spend money money on a bunch of different colored wire just to use some short pieces. I had some old harnesses laying around with a bunch of different colored wires. If I had my harness in the truck I would have some scraps left over that would work. I found this web site http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/aw...uge-d_731.html that shows what wire gauge actual diameters are. Most in these harnesses are 18 gauge. I'd feel better using 16 gauge on most of it. The american wire gauges are 16. I say that because they measured out to be .050". Am I correct by saying that? I also found this chart I use to use many years ago studying for my A&P. Don't ask me to explain it. ![]() I also remebered tonight I have to get some dash lights for the gauges.

Hey Alan,
I really enjoy following your build, cause you always have some great links. The Ohm's Chart and Engineering Tool Box was the best. Thanks. Danny ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
This wiring thing, if I hadn't already said, is a trial and error situation.
![]() BTW I emailed Super Brite LED's to ask them if they had a LED that would go into a 5/8" hole for the gauge lights. I looked around the site some more and couldn't locate exactly what I needed. There were some twist locks, but no snap ins. So we'll see.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Sweet into the wiring already!!
One trick I have seen wiring guys use when making harnesses is to use a piece of plywood and then use 6 penny finishing nails to create routes for wires and then lay out the wire in between the nails then break out wires off of the main trunk in bundles and then they can bundle it and tape it for a nice neat look. Don't know if you are planning on completely making you harness or not but thought I would throw this out there I have friend who is great with wiring if you need help let me know he has been working on and restoring cars all his life, he has built high performance boats from the hull up for years he also has had his own business rigging boats has a great resume and he is currently working at a restoration shop near Gainesville, Ga Im sure if you needed help with something he can get you going in the right direction. |

![]() 65Custom just had to remind me about Dakota Digital. ![]() ![]() I finally got something finished. It seems like nothing gets completed. Oh yeah I got 2 things done. The kitchen overhaul is done after 2 years we got the granite tops installed and I finished trimming them out Saturday. I also overhauled the lawn mower after 10 years. It used to be green. The blue is actually a 2011 Ford color. I worked on a 2011 Mustang that color and really liked it. I'm getting a 10X30 lean too on the back of my shop with in the next week or two depending on weather. ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan,
The gauges look real good and so does the new kitchen counter. But 140 MPH...? I don't think my old heart could handle that in a C10. The Ford Blue really caught my eye and I too envisioned a white over blue sitting in my driveway... F.Y.I. - You will be held responsible if I show-up at a ralley and there's a fleet of them to meet me... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan,
I found this website today and they've got some LED bulbs for the gauge cluster: http://whitegauges.net But, after checking into it, they seemed a little pricey and not really what I was looking for. So I went back to http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...Fba9s_1led.htm and found what I've been looking for. If ya know something I don't, 'Spill the Beans', cause I've got to get something brighter in the dash for my broken-down eyes.... Danny ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Well guys when I was talking about the Dakota Gauges they have a new style VHX not the digital numbers type, I agree those would be hard to read in anything but night driving, this new style they developed looks really nice and more modern and are digital with analog faces
They remind me of the newer dashes in the newer cars but with the flair of old dashes I also asked them if they were doing one for our truck and they wrote back saying that it would be out mid year go check them out but don't look at the prices http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod&prd737.htm |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Man, I would argue for a long time if I ordered something at a price they have listed...threaten BBB, etc...I HATE when businesses pull that sort of stuff. If they make a mistake on pricing they should honor it. Unless it's a typo that they quickly fix or a misprint of a flyer that they immediately print a disclaimer about....But something that's been out there for a year is their price and they need to own it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan,
Hold the Alt button down and hit print screen. It won't look like it does anything. Open up a Microsoft Word blank document, (or another document program) and click on edit on the top of the screen. Click on paste. That should put an image of the web page on the document. Then just save it. Edit: I just went to their website and have the page saved. If you want to PM me your e-mail address, I can send it to you. I saved it showing the date and time in the image also. Last edited by chevy_man5; 02-07-2011 at 11:35 PM. |

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Same way Alan. Instead of pasting it into a word document, open up a blank page in Paint, then paste it into that, save as a .jpg file. Then you can insert it or attach it to an e-mail.
