The fuse holder has 5 fuses H beam, L beam, Park,Tail and Stop fuses. What size fuse should be in each one. I found a bag of fuses that came with the truck. Buss SFE 20A, Buss AGC 30, and SFE 14 also is there a inline fuse for the gas gauge? I bought a voltage reducer for the gas gauge and the directions for installation shows an in line fuse attached to the gas guage. I looked in all my manuals and cannot find any info about fuse sizes. The truck was converted from 6 to 12 volt when I bought it.
Thanks

Call out for all the fuses is 20amp. http://www.pbase.com/dennygraham/image/141450842/large Denny Graham Sandwich, IL

A good 'all-purpose' size is 10 amp for electronics or 20 amp for bulbs. Either will blow in a short circuit and that's what you want. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 91 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 91 | Thanks Denny this is just what I needed the picture with the fuses is the same as I have installed in my 1949. Oh by the way when can we meet to talk about your 54 and my 49. I have been reading the post about the front and rear motor mounts this sparked my intrest to checking out both. At first I was just looking to replace the two carriage bolts. Denny I live in South Elgin, Il not that far from Sandwich, Il
