1969 Chevy Van Build #9. Replacing Fuse Block, Light, Dimmer, Signal switches and Thermostat Housing

[@listenerjim]

It’s so funny since I’ve been watching this series and revisiting old playlists how all of a sudden I see these on marketplace and I saw a couple of Nomad wagons on there.. 😂 these phones spy on us terribly. 😂

I'm on the same journey. Working on a 69 G10 van that was parked outside in 94. Just replaced the fuse box with a box from a 67-72 C10 I bought off ebay. Huge rust holes inside. Really appreciate you making this video.

Things are starting to get a little interesting on this van man. Lee's on another mission, Woooooo. Salute 🫡

This channel beats the others by a mile with their million $ rebuilds C and C keeping it real. Thanks!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks!

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Another great episode, that van is coming along nicely!

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks! 👍

[@sothernborn1]

I like it when you get on to body work . I think you one of the only channels that does their own body and paint too.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@terryeustice5399]

Lee great job on getting the wiring straightened out on the van. Great video! Thanks for sharing! 💯💕👊👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Great job with the fuse block, as much as I love wiring, I really hate working with fuse blocks

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@BudFranks-fu9ye]

I love that van 👍💯

[@stevensheffield2059]

Van is rocking!

Better not come a knocking!

I remember helping my dad with his ‘69 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. We couldn’t find a heater core however we were able to use a heater code from a ‘70 Ford Galaxy from an AC car. Hopefully a place to start on matching up a similar heater core.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Pickups and vans heater cores are completely different

[@floydleach7976]

You’re suppose to de-pin the wires on the turn signal switch lower connector and pull the wires through the steering column.

[@toddjohnston4788]

It's looking great 👍

You’re probably getting tired of reading my comments, but here is a cool little tip someone passed along to me, 1988-1993 Chevy S10 washer reservoirs are pretty universal, if you order the right ones on EBay they come with a pump and a pigtail (apparently not anymore) but I found the pigtails for another 9 dollars… WTF! For a pigtail? It’s thievery. They hold 3/4 gallon and fit in lots of different locations pretty easily.

[@randyman828]

I love your videos 👍

[@clunkersandclassics]

Thanks

[@jessmasters4117]

Deoxit is a good try on the fuse box corrosion.

[@CharlesMarshall-c1v]

You sound sick there mr lee

[@glenbo2464]

Why do the tail lights flash opposite when the flashers are on and not at the same time? 28:34 . Moving right along with the repairs , cool!

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Just remember, if you use LED bulbs in your turn signals you need the new style electronic flasher unit so your turn signals and flashers will work properly.

[@jefferywarburton2116]

That fuse box is a fine thing. Mine has 0 and has since the mid to late 80's not very comforting.

[@roberthood2352]

👍👍

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

When I rebuild columns, I fold the wires hard against the plug, put on a wrap of tape, run a hard wire or hanger up the wire run on the column and attach it with tape, then work the whole thing down. By looking at that little hole, I think the factory finished welding that piece after the turn signal plug was installed. Did you cut yourself?

[@onegative8887]

Have u tried a sbc water neck bolt pattern maybe the same

[@jefferywarburton2116]

1960-66 gmc/c10 heater core is probably as close as you could get.

[@jefferywarburton2116]

The tubes would probably be a bit short from the looks of them so they may have to be clamped inside the cab or extended which sounds like hell but could work out with copper and solder like a water pipe would be.

I was going to tell you the first time I saw the kitten sitting in the seat of that Scooby-Doo van but I forgot, since it hangs out in the Scooby-Doo van and around it, your name the kitten Scooby-Doo

[@wimanf1]

You get a ultra sonic and you do not ues it 😂

[@jamespn]

Any buyers interested in the Silverado and the Camaro?

[@clunkersandclassics]

no

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

I was thinking no matter what color you paint the van that grill would probably look better if you painted black God bless

[@clunkersandclassics]

I think I'm going to paint it silver

[@cedricwaller4373]

Are you in the DFW area

[@clunkersandclassics]

no, north near the border of Oklahoma

Why do older cars have the fuze box all the way on the bottom of the floor board.thats the most uncomfortable place to work.i would have taken one out of the malibu.

[@GabrielGiron-g5o]

Whats up with all these camaros cheveless vans from 1960s 1970s all have to have the radiaters replaced with a aluminum radiaters 🇺🇲 cant you just replace it with a original radiaters because the uluminan r ugly

[@MikeekiM-vh5se]

Aluminum is cheaper,thats why..

[@sbc383zz]

Start a Go Fund for Lee to buy those original radiators. lol

[@clunkersandclassics]

aluminum cools better than original

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

Have you looked for a copper core radiator lately? If you can find them they’re pretty expensive.

[@Robrt32]

400 dollars for a original for my truck. 150 for aluminum and 20 for a can of black spray paint designed for radiators. Do the math. You’ll see why

[@maj.FrankMBurns]

That online 6 was used up to 85 in squair body trucks and g body cars. South America the engine was used till 2002. Aside from a efi manifold, the engine is the same. I have one here I'm putting a turbo on.

[@clunkersandclassics]

Yes but when they went to the integrated head in the mid 70s it made interchanging parts almost impossible with the older ones.

[@maj.FrankMBurns]

it is all bolt on. Theres almost zero changes in this engine. ​@@clunkersandclassics

[@maj.FrankMBurns]

Lmao that air horn is rare and worth more than that whole van and that nova put together

[@clunkersandclassics]

you a buyer?
