Help ID'ing this- also a couple of pics of trk - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

llowlife · 06-10-2010, 06:22 PM

I am doing a part by part frame off as my memory is not what it used to be....a total frame off at one time would be more parts than I care to remember....

So anyway Heres the wire. It looks like a ground but I am uncertain as to why a ground would be fused?

Also included are a couple of pics of the old girl. This is my 6th or so of this species I have owned. I regretted getting rid of them all, but at the time money was tight...This one started off as a cam change and has grown far out of proportion from whence I started....

Thanks for your time

that wire is from the lights it goes to the power junction block on th fender. Need a picture just let me know I will run out and take one for you... Also has a little fuse in it.

Its not a ground its a bus line with a fuse inside of that football shaped housing. There is also one on the other corner. There is a small glass fuse in each and it goes on that two prong distribution block right there on the inner fender.

It has been my understanding that this is is for the battery gage. I have never been sure if it should be ground or hot though.

Welcome to the board. The 4A fuse holders are for the ammeter.

llowlife · 06-10-2010, 09:30 PM

From the diagram it looks to be just three different routes to bring power in, where it's distributed from there.......Assistance is greatly appreciated, somewhere I have a factory manual...I just can't put my finger on it right now.

The diagram may help later though I have most of it done. I am running alot of stuff off of relays. The interior wiring looks to be unmolested just lots of "extra" wiring from the previous owner. The 4l80 tranny is the next thing to tackle and looks to be a treat, then the box off and new cab corners. Why do I do these things. All I wanted was a daily driver?

Ooops just caught your comment about the ammeter
