[old-chevy-truck] Wiring Help
I bought a partially finished 3/4ton with a new wiring harness that is partly hooked up. Trouble is I got NO instructions with the truck and cant find any directions in the boxes of parts that came with it. The guy who sold it to me is not the same guy who bought the harness and did the work. There is enough of it hooked up to start the engine and operate the charging system but I have lots of extra wires hanging down from the dash-maybe turn signals or may they are the tail lights. Not sure where the dome light and gas gauge wires are. The hanging wires are labeled with numbers-- in the 30's--like 31, 32, 33, etc. The folks at Classic Parts were nice enough to send me instruction for their wiring kit but it does not match. Does anyone have instructions for another brand of wiring kit to share that might accidentally match what I have?

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Wiring Help
Steve, I did a wiring harness not too long ago and here are my thoughts, but I'm lowest on the experience totem pole so others may disagree... If you are unsuccessful at finding an install sheet with matching numbers let us know what works on the dash and what doesn't. I was really surprised with how few circuits were behind the dash. Fuel gauge and ammeter are electrical, all others are mechanical, other than that it's just dash lights, hi beam indicator, ignition wiring (which already works in your case) and hook ups for the headlight switch. The remaining bundle of wires is for hook up of a steering column mounted aftermarket turn signal. The wire for the dome light connects to the headlight switch (if I remember correctly). If most everything on the dash works then I'd be willing to bet the extra wires are for the turn signals. Also, if your harness is pre-wired for either with or without turn signals then you will have un connected wires no matter what you do. I made the mistake of thinking all wires had to be connected to be considered "finished" but you will have unused wires depending on your decisions for turn signals. Finally, I thought my CP harness came with a separate sheet of instructions on how to install turn signals and included numbers in the mid 30's, don't quote me on this, I will check when I get home. Hope that helps. -cale 51 1/2 ton owensboro ky To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com From: sgr...@ku.edu Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:01:11 +0000 Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Wiring Help I bought a partially finished 3/4ton with a new wiring harness that is partly hooked up.

Steve In the files section of the group page there is a wiring diagram for a 1950 Chevy truck. If you still have the numbers on both ends of the wires you should be able to print the wiring diagram and follow the numbers to hook up the rest of your stuff.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Wiring Help
Steve, Looks like those might be turn signals from a classic parts harness, I found my old wiring instructions and they indicate wires 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 are for the turn signals. If you can find a copy online that might be your best bet, I'd be glad to scan a copy of mine and email it to you...no extra charge for the greasy fingerprints. Hope that helps. -cale 51 chevy 1/2 ton owensboro ky To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com From: sgr...@ku.edu Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:01:11 + Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Wiring Help I bought a partially finished 3/4ton with a new wiring harness that is partly hooked up.
