Anyone with experience or recommendations on upgrading the fuse box from glass to BUS fuses? Any challenges with using existing wire harnesses? What about future electrical upgrades, like power windows or heated seats?
Thanks.

Converting an existing wire harness to a new fuse box (of any description) is gonna be a large project. I designed & built my own (glass style fuse) fuse box, that took months to do. I don't want to be negative, but if you've not done a lot of vehicle wiring, I'd pass, for a while, if I were you.

My project keeps devolving, so in prepping for restoring a stripped, freshly painted shell in the future, I'm resurrecting this question: can it be that tough to remove an old fuse box and install a new BUS fuse box from a later Chevy truck? I figure, if the factory installed it, it can be done again. Somebody out there has to have been bugged by rusty glass fuses, maybe broken a couple and decided to do the conversion.

How do the wires from a harness actually attach to the fuse box? Any pictures to help the novice? Thanks.

Well if you're asking about the older fuse boxes I found a picture of a Blazer box that is the same as the c10. It's seen better days. :lol:

Thanks for the photo, VetteVet.

Anyone know of any BUS fuse box replacement parts through an on-line source or recommend any later model Chevy truck fuse boxes to look for for this conversion? The later Chevy truck ones could share fuse labels with our trucks, but I don't want to limit the field too much.

What you need is one of these kits we sold Jason. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=252950 I also sold one of these kits to another board member as well that had new harnesses already in his truck but wanted to upgrade to PW, PL, and other stuff. He was going to cut the factory wires off at the original fuse box and trans fer then to the new block one circuit at a time.
