Everything from the 58 appears intact and unmolested, the wiring in my 57 3600 is trashed.
I know the headlamp wires are different, but I am not changing those.
This ignition switch is on on-off, no start switch, I think it was still a button on the floor.
The 58 still had a generator, my 57 has a working alternator, about the only wiring that works.
I need to combine them so I can finally drive the truck.
1957 Chevy 3600At these prices I want my gas 100 octane, leaded, and my windshield washed! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | yes, the under dash harness is the same both years - 6's all had the off/on switch, V8's only had off/on/start

Gauges work, headlamps too.
Now I just have to get turn signals, heater, wiper.
