    I've consulted the build guides, shop Manuals etc. And information is conflicting, with none of them showing what's actually on my truck. Can someone help identify A, B, and C. Truck is a 1956 Chevy Cameo, with 265 V8, and Std ****** with overdrive. All seems to be original, but after 60+ years certainly could have changed along the way.[​IMG]

    Not much there that came on it new. One of the relays is for the OD, so don't loose it.
    When we found trucks treated like yours in the old days, we'd find a 2 ton in the wrecking yard & buy the wiring harness - seldom had any butchering, & usually had near perfect gauges, too.

    You need to work on figuring out how to take pictures that show the parts you want us to identify, much bigger on the screen.

    But it looks like the wiring connectors B and C are from an early 60s Chevy car wiring harness....not original old truck stuff, at all.

    Trace wires out and see what's own the other end.

    That helps. Sorry about the photo. Thought showing where on the truck was important.

    no problem...just letting you know that it's easier to get help with stuff, if the folks trying to help you can see what you can see.

    Since the stuff you were referring to is not original, it would help us identify it if we could see it better.
