Hello from Arizona, I'm new here but not a new "old chevy truck owner". I've owned my '65 suburban since valentines day 1969. For 25 years it was my daily driver,work truck, camper and party wagon. In the last ten years i've only driven it about 100 miles, and it has been parked under pine trees for the last 5 years with no battery or radiator.The tires were sinking into the dirt. I may be moving in the near future and figured i should get the "old brown bomber"running so i could move it or sell it as i need some extra funds. It only took priming the carb to start it.It took a day to clear out the pack rat nests and patch the chewed wiring. I went for a short drive and fell back in love with this truck, and will probably be keeping it now, but am realizing that i have forgot much of what i learned about this truck when it was my daily driver. I repainted and restored it 1989 and knew the shop manual almost by heart. sorry about the length of this post to ask a simple question.
I seem to recall that when i had the headlights on the front parking lights would also be on. this is not the case now. the parking lights only come on when the headlight switch is in the parklight position,ie pulled part way out. I didn't have to do any repair work on the front lights harness so i am confused as to what the proper combo of lights is and am thinking that my headlight switch has gone bad. can anyone tell me if the parklights on their 64-66's come on with the headlights?
