Picked up the truck at the end of 2024. Before that I believe it was sitting since 1997. Previous owner had started doing a few things to. The wiring is butchered, combining original Chevy with some Dodge stuff thrown in. Yeah this beast has a dodge engine in it. That complicates things with the starter being on the wrong side of the truck and the battery box being where it is. As I consider upgrading the brakes and master cylinder I have to work around this… ya see I’ve concluded the best place for the battery box is on the drivers side under the seat, and on the other side of the frame… my brakes… so some thinking is required. The battery box is probably where I should really be focusing now, but I’m on other aspects of the wiring right now, components of it, like my troublesome pedestal lights. Also will be making the parking lights into turn signals, adding a hazard switch, later column mounted 55-57 turn signal switch, trying to create a nice fixture for signal flasher unit, making a cool red hazard button out of some found parts…
