Info on my 72 4X4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jetjockey · 01-17-2008, 08:13 AM

I recently purchased a 72 chevy 4X4, it originally came with an aux battery and a thottle control mounted on the dash. Somewhere in its history the aux battery box and all wiring was removed and the knob on the thottle control was lost. I've seen the cable in parts books but nothing on the knob or the aux battery install. Anybody have any info on these items?

the aux battery tray is spendy but i believe it was reproduced at one time or still is. welcome to the boards and you should post some pics of your new ride!

Welcome to the 67-72 Chevy Truck Board from West Michigan!

The wiper knob can be used on the throttle cable.

The Assembly Manual has all the wiring/installation information in it for the dual battery setup. If you don't have an Assembly Manual you may want to consider getting one as they have a lot of information in them.

I just bought the correct new deluxe throttle knob from Classic Parts (Chevy Duty) it was $7.95.
I am sure other vendors carry them also.
