You are welcome. Glad the videos were helpful to you. 👍🏽

That’s going to look neat . 👍🏽

Thank you. Happy to hear that was able to help.

Thank you for the compliment. I’m glad that the videos are going to be helpful to you . I’m also glad that you paid attention to the fact that there is more than one video , that breaks down the whole series of wires for this series of trucks. Thanks again and great luck on your upcoming restoration.

Glad that I was able to help. Thanks for reaching out . I hope your project goes smoothly. Thanks again , and thanks for checking out the videos. 👍🏽

You’re welcome and thank you. Glad I was able to help. 👍🏽

I added about 1/4 of the tank full with antifreeze .

Sorry it took me a bit to respond. I’ve been away for work. So , the breather bolts which are in the head is what the the tubes are connected to . The way that I had ran the lines to the catch can was backwards. The line that I had running to the filtered side of the catch can should have been the line going into the non filtered side of the can. The way that I explained the setup is correct, except for the way the I ran the lines into the can. Hope that helps , and again sorry for leaving you hanging.

Sorry it took me a while to respond. I’ve been away for work . No I don’t have a video for a manual transmission, but all the wires are the same. The only difference is the neutral safety switch. The wires are the same , the switch is just different.

Thank you and you’re welcome. I appreciate you letting me know . I’m glad the videos were a help to you. 👍🏽

Thanks for watching.

If you watch all of the videos that I have up about this vehicles wiring , I explain where each wire goes. You also could get the wiring schematic book on the 1967 - 1972 c10 . They’re not expensive at all .

I’m just a little confused. Because I have a 67 plug that has the dummy lights, but I purchased a rebuilt instrument cluster with all the mechanical gauges and volt meters and tachometer. But on that new printed circuit, the top half of the plug is totally separate from the printed circuit on the bottom half of the plug so it looks like I’m supposed to have a hot wire For the top half of the plug and another hot wire for the bottom half of the plug.

For instance- my double grey wires are on #12.. would that still be gage light/ heater light?and there’s a double green on #5? Ugh. Thanks!

Glad the video was helpful to you. Sorry to hear that someone made a mess of your wires. You’re going to have to try and trace each one to see what it’s hooked up to . If you’re brave enough you can cut them out and start fresh, using what I’ve shown it these videos as a guide. Either way I hope you get things figured out , and thanks fir watching the videos. 👍🏽

I used a wire wheel brush attached to an angle grinder to get all of the old paint and rust off of the metal. Then started sanding with 60 grit all the way up to 3000 grit by hand . I done each panel individually off of the truck. I couldn’t use a block because the body has some dents and dings in it . By using my hand my fingers we’re following every contour, so that the sand lines would be consistent with the imperfections of the sheet metal. I also followed the same sanding lines as the previous grit.

@@PatinaCodeMeans only the visible outer sheell is bare but inside might be some rust protection right? And how is the outer shell against weather conditions? I am living in a sunny area, less rain and if I dont take the car out usually

@@khancross The protection is great. It’s been on the truck for a bit over 2 years , I’ve had no problems. Now with that said , the truck isn’t out on the road every day either. I’ve had to touch up a few spots and those spots were due to a cat spraying on the truck.

@@PatinaCode And behind the body? Protection as usual with epoxy or so?

@@khancross The small section where I knew that I wouldn’t be able to reach , which is the section where the front of the bed is , I painted, but the rest is all bare metal.

I had no problem with this tilt hood kit. I will tell you this your hood and fender have to be lined up pretty good for it to work properly. With that said I had more trouble with standard position hinges due to the rear bracing on my hood where the hinges attach being a bit of kilter.

Thank you for the compliment. I’m glad that the videos have helped you with your project. These videos are doing exactly what I hoped and that was to simply help others. Thanks for letting me know. 👍🏽

That’s exactly how I learned what was what with the C-10 . Usually I had to buy two trucks to make one. 😀

Yes things are gearing up for sure.

🤘🏽🤘🏽

I’m glad that the videos have helped you and thank you for watching them. So the two green wires that go to the neutral safety switch are coming directly from the fuse panel. They are tied in series with the rear lights. The wires for rear lights are brown , yellow, green and light green and they pass through the floor , then run to the rear of the truck.

@PatinaCode ok, thank you. I have 2 thick green and dark green wires that come out of the wiring harness that are together that go across the top to the passenger side and are on a wire straped to the engine going down to the starter and are just hanging there not sure where they go the dark green has power when key is in on position

Is there a way to send a pic on here

You’re welcome and thank you. 👍🏽

It has held up well . The one thing that I can tell you is to be sure you apply it on a dry day with low humidity. If that is possible for you . Why that is important is because you don’t want to trap moisture underneath the coating. It will form rust underneath. I’m doing another truck with bare fenders right now and I plan on using it again on this truck. I’m in Missouri and we have lots of rain in the spring and summer and I’ve driven in everything but snow with that truck and had no issues with the coating. One thing about it is that if you do get caught in the rain , wipe it down once you’re home. If you don’t you’ll have real bad water spots and they’re a bitch to clean off. It will take a lot of rubbing. Other than that I like it and it has worked well for me . Hope this helps, and thanks for checking out the video. 👍🏽

You’re welcome and thank you. The rest of the videos in this series will explain the rest of the system.

You’re welcome and thank you. 👍🏽

Thank you . What’s the problem with the wiring on your ignition ?

Thank you . I am glad that the video is a help to you . Good luck with your project.

I’ll do my best to help you . One of the main things to be sure of is to make sure that you have really good clean grounds . The other thing with testing for blinkers and braking lights is to be sure that you have a really good charge on your battery. Under the steering wheel there is a plastic ring where the signal switch is . Sometimes the brass contact’s get corroded. You can clean them up by using some sand paper. One of the last things is to check all the fuses . Also , check down the signal wires in the finder’s and bedside as well as the ones leading from the steering column to be sure that none are cracked or broken. Again the most common issue is that the system is not properly grounded. Proper grounds are good secured and clean grounds.

@PatinaCode The purple wire in the fuse panel has no power that runs to the little round flash thing. All the other lights work Emergency Flashers , parking lights, Break lights, headlights. All work.

@@davidolds1972 Sorry for the delay in responding. I’m just getting home . Ok , now that you’ve identified the problem wire that’s a start . You may have to trace that wire back on each end to make sure that there is proper connection regarding that wire. These trucks are old and corrosion is the enemy. All it takes is a little correction on the connection sites to cause a problem. Also make sure the fuse and flashers are good.

Thank you . I’m glad you have found them . Good luck with your project . 👍🏽

Thank you and you’re welcome. The square body s-10 is one of my favorite trucks . I actually had the same year back in the day and was the first vehicle that I had ever customized. Good luck on your project and just remember to take your time . Thanks again and I’m glad the video was a help to you.

Thanks glad it was a help to you.

I have never tore into a 77 . I will say this. GM didn’t change up the color scheme for the wires over the years . Most of what I showed in these videos will help with your project. I wired a 66 Impala and was surprised as to how much the wiring resembled that of the 72 truck.

@seanoneil2110 Thank you fir the compliment and fir checking out the videos. I’m glad that they are a help to you. Thanks again and you are welcome. Yes , I do know what you meant about not over explaining. 👍🏽

You’re exactly right . I switched them since the video. 👍🏽 Thank you for watching.

Thank you and thank you again . I appreciate that . I’ll be uploading again soon , but it will be a continuation of the series that Im currently doing which is focusing on the 1947 to 1954 series Chevy truck . I don’t have a G body to do anything on . I do have a B body 1966 Chevy Biscayne that I plan to do . I’ve recently had a new baby and I’ve been dedicating most of my time to him , so it has kept me out of the shop . Thanks for your comment and for watching the videos. 👍🏽

@@PatinaCode ok I totally understand and I’ll be waiting on you to return 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@PatinaCodeI just now subscribed too!!

@@papergatorzfedducca7998 I don’t know everything about the wiring across the board on GM vehicles, but it is all just about the same . GM didn’t get crazy about changing things . They basically continued year to year with the same wiring schematic and then added on as things evolved. I had a 1977 Monte Carlo that I’d done and the wiring was pretty close to the 72 Chevy truck . The Monte Carlo did employ vacuum tubes to operate the vent ducts, but other than that the color of wires for different components were still the same . Just rember that most wiring issues are due to bad grounds and broken or frayed wires. A voltage meter ,test light and a good fully charged battery in the vehicle are your best friend when wiring a vehicle, or chasing wiring issues. Thanks for the subscribe.

@@PatinaCodeok thank you!!

You are welcome and thank you for watching. Glad that I was a help. 👍🏽

Thank you . 👍🏽

Thank you for checking out the video . I’m glad it was a help to you .

@patinacode

It’s holding up well . Yes there were a few spots to knock down and recover. It was expected , due to the truck being on the road . It wasn’t a major ordeal. I spent a weekend fixing it all up . I’m still happy with the protection that it offers .
