Why does the horn need a wire? it has a rubber bulb:lol:

Sorry I am that kind of mood. Looks good to me and I am sure it will help alot of people.

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
If you take apart the horn button there is a contact that is engaged when you press on the horn.What you are actually doing is sending a ground signal to your horn relay coil which has power at it and to one side of contact.When ground signal makes it to the coil at horn relay it engages and closes contact to provide 12v to your horn.Thus giving you the beep beep sound.I hope this makes sense.

I am sorry. I was just making fun of the little horn in the diagram. It looks like a bicycle horn to me. I will go home now. Stay warm

I copied them to a flash drive then went to the local FedEx/Kinkos and had them printed on 11 x 17 heavy stock. It cost less than $7.00, is easy on the eyes and will last for years.

Which harness is easiest in doing a complete re-wire? Painless? or 1966 CHEVROLET C10 PICKUP American Autowire Classic Update Series Wiring Harness Kits 500560

Most of the original wiring was missing on my truck. It had been sitting in a field for 30 years or so. If you are going to use the stock dist. with points and don't have or can't find resister wire, this may help. I had trouble figuring out the wiring for the start/run circuit going to the points. The wire is not on the diagram above. As I understand it, the truck came with resistor wire going to the points during run so they would last longer. After much research on my part and the help of my Dad, (he was a mechanic when the truck was new); this is what we came up with.

Looking for some help!

I have a 64 C20 with rear light issues. I have turn signals but no brakes, running lights. Also, I have no interior dome light, but gas indicator works. I have replaced just about everything with no luck. Starting at the back, new bulbs, new wiring harness all the way to the front, new brake light switch, new dome light and wiring, new director signal connector in the steering wheel. The onyl place I can see on the wiring diagram where dome light and rear lights meet is in the light switch connector. I am not sure what/where that is or even what it looks like????? Anyone out there got any ideas? I am stumped!!

THANKS

Will this diagram work for my 61?

low79fx 04-01-2014 09:46 PM

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
It should work on just about any truck if you really think about. But it was tailored for 60-66 gm trucks.

Attached are some 1964 Chevy C-K 10-20 wiring diagrams I did. There a CAD file in .dwg format (in the zip file) and the same thing as a four page pdf file. Air conditioning is included as page four.

Mostly it's redrawn from the stock diagrams in the 1964 shop manual supplement. The fuse panel internal connections are shown accurately, I traced the circuits in mine. I left out devices that are not on a C-K 10-20.

If you play with the cad file it's saved as an autocad 2000 file. Each wire color is on its own layer. There is one layer on which I put all the devices that the wiring connects to. Depending on the cad program you use, you might have to play with layer colors to get a decent color print.

(I'm putting my 64 back on the road and am fixing up a lot of wiring sins I created twenty years ago. I wanted a decent wiring diagram so I decided to redraw the originals into cad format so I could edit them. The diagram for my truck is eight pages with four more pages for the stuff I have added.)

Hope this helps someone...

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
New here and to the c/10 world, so sorry for dumb question, but I noticed a puff of smoke come from under the dash a couple days ago, and jiggling the wires behind the ignition switch shuts the engine off. The truck was re-wired by a shop before I bought it. I don't know what kit they used. It looks like some wires are getting hot back there (I have reached down and touched them, and the area where they attach to the harness behind the ignition switch shows plastic is melted a little). I feel like I could label, then pull wires and fix loose connections, but I don't want to mess anything up. I also will need a new harness for the back of the ignition switch. Any thoughts on how I should approach this? How should I go about buying a harness without knowing the type of wiring kit used? The ignition switch itself looks like the original. Thanks!

I would start a new thread to get some answers since this may be too hidden using the tail end of another's thread.

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
Is it just me, or do none of these wiring diagrams show the heater switch, heater resistor circuit and blower? Or did they use fire to heat their trucks back then?

Figuarus 01-20-2016 04:30 PM

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
It's my understanding that heaters have their own standalone wiring harness.

sharkskinman 01-21-2016 01:45 PM

Re: 60-66 full body wiring
 
My heater only has 1 wire from switch to fan
Mine is base stock and has a 3 speed

I can take a look and let u know the wiring
