Truck is looking great...better get it together so you can get an appraisal while the Barrett Jackson comp's are still fresh

Thanks, and I did charge the battery. It didn't seem low judging by the charger. The flashers do flash longer now.

I hope to get the apprasial this week.

Same thing if your head light switch seems twitchy.

These things tend to stop working when they get too hot due to an internal short IIRC.

However, my steering column is a 1971... and I wired in the flasher unit after I bought the truck, when I realized it was possible. I was discussing some of this stuff on another old truck board and a fella explained it to me.

dunno if that helps you or not, but that is what mine do as well.

Thanks guys for all the reinforcement.

Like I mentioned above I did put a charge on the battery. It didn't seem low judging by the charger, but the flashers are working good now. The turn signals don't do anything. The only thing that I have noticed is with the brakes on and when I turn on a turn signal, the brake light goes out. Remember nothing is hooked up on the front as far as lights go.

Today I installed the wiper motor and drive. I hot wired the wipers to make sure everything moves like it should. No abnormal noises.

Installed the cowl panel and hood to cowl seal.

Hooked up the headlight relays to the battery.

Got the fan relay all hooked up, but the ign wire to the temp sensor for the relay. Trying to figure out the best point to pull power from. I did hot wire the fan to make sure I had the polarity correct. It sure is quiet.
