Ahhh... good deal, thank you :-)
One quick one squirrel, will a 57-59 turn signal assembly work on my 55 since I’ll be putting in a new American autowire kit in this winter? I...
Oooh, I got ya squirrel, I’m a little slow sometimes...
Well squirrel, it’s a 55 Chevy, you’ve helped me on this project about a year ago when I’d just gotten it.
There are lots of options, so at least I’m not stuck without any. I appreciate all the ideas and I’ll post something when I decide what the best...
Lol that’s a great idea I’d like to do that too.
Well those are cool, I don’t want them hanging out. Wonder if I can set those back into the jam somehow.. ? I like the way you think. I’d better...
Yup I like simple, simple is good. I like roll up windows. I think just gonna run a ground loop through the door. Will that mean the headlight...
Thanks for all the help, I’m pretty excited to get the A Aw kit. When I first got the truck it had a bird nest in there just begging to catch...
Well maybe I’ll just leave it be for now, when the cruising season is over I’m going to re wire the truck with an American auto wire kit. While...
I guess a guy could wire in a toggle to provide the ground and just leave it at that, but I would like to have it come on when I open a door is...
Was it the headlight switch that turns on the dome light then? I’ve rotated mine and nothing happens.
Those look like they’ll work I’m hoping I won’t have to drill too big of a hole. I still want them to look nice. If possible I’d like them to look...
Maybe I can just rebuild the existing switch. Yes it’s a th350 it’s not a gmc truck though. It’s just my sons and my project truck we work on...
This is the switch, the light and the new gauge cluster I put in yesterday, any thoughts on it? I know it isn’t ideal but I do like the additional...

Yessir, I’ve spoken a few times to wise squirrel, I wish I had his knowledge. Thanks for taking the time.
Ok, good deal. Thank you sir. Also did the well inside the door come with a light there or was that added on mine later by someone?
The old 55’ [ATTACH] well, it has them now, but I don’t know if they were added sometime in the last 63 years. I know it does have a dome light...
can anyone direct me toward new dome light door jam switches for a 55 Chevy truck

I have a 1967 283 2 bolt with mid 60's power pack heads, what can I do within reason to increase hp? It has a 600 cfm edelbrock carb and...
It isn't for mine, it's a gift for a friend who goes to car shows and really wants a cover that fits tight, his is actually a gmc but I thought...
Does anyone know of a highly fitted car cover for a 55 Chevy truck? Something like spandex material? I'm looking for one that's way better fit...

Yes but not very well, I'd like to cut some patch pieces out of new stock and weld them in like I did above and below the display of the radio,...
