[@DREWSLENS]

I'm about to dive balls deep into this myself. So glad I can watch you suffer and learn from your mistakes 😂 I'll be waiting patiently for more!!!

[@TheJayhawker]

lol, by all means watch and learn, if I actually show anything worthwhile. But make no mistake, I love doing this stuff, there is no suffering involved!

Hello Sir ! I have a 1962 Chevy C10 with an inline 292. I got it about 2 years ago and have done very little to it because, well frankly I am not a mechanic LOL I found a video that you have on Brakes? I am going to start there and stay here in your channel to help me get this truck on the road ! I appreciate all your time and efforts! I enjoy your patience and knowledge, again thank you so very much for these videos ! Greetings and blessings from Houston, Texas! Stay safe and keep these videos coming please !!!

[@TheJayhawker]

You're the guys that I make the videos for. Glad to help and thanks for the kinds words. Let me know how the project goes!

[@mikesims6300]

It's nice to see a rewire done right.

[@fredcarrasco2494]

just bought a 66' biscayne. this is just what i needed. thank you

[@russelltrupia4479]

That was one heck of a tape job.I understand why you use the original connectors, it really does look good.

[@GBassJones]

Just received all the wiring diagrams for my 66 c10 a few days ago. Perfect timing to learn from the best!

[@papilloncycles3463]

Looks great will be certain to use this job you've done as a reference in the near future. Thanks!

Hi Jayhawker! these are the best that I have found for a novice starting a 65 c20 rebuild project. Brake overhaul was nothing short of excellent! I can't seem to get the right signal indicator to flash on the dash. signals work but dash not so much. I'm going to rewatch the inside video to see if I can chase it down. Thanks for all you do!

[@TheJayhawker]

If memory is working for me I think the wires going to the indicators and the TS lamps themselves tee off from a common wire. So the indicator wires or the sockets could simply be switched around.

[@deanscherer687]

You can still get the oem crimp terminals for the bulk head connecter better than cut and soldr

[@joedurkin8953]

Thank you good sir

[@Mark_Tschetter]

You should put all the build videos into one long video when your finished instead of all those short ones.

[@sinistersilverado965]

I have a 63 C10, I need to rewire

[@pinkyuncle-gk2se]

Where oh where can I find replacement connectors that are the original configuration? Meaning I’m re-wiring my harnesses but the connectors are shot. Where can I find just the connectors?

[@TheJayhawker]

that's a problem. The best I can advise is to find other used or salvaged pieces or to get a rubber molding kit and mold new ones if yours can at least be used as patterns. Or if you know any young whipper-snappers with a 3D printer they could easily print you a mold.

[@stevekeller5706]

Sure wish you would have shown installation of harnesses. My 65 has been so jerry rigged I don't know what it is supposed to look like. And you mentioned "Standard" for a source. Standard what?

[@johnrittle4165]

Also I'm on a tight budget.

[@Hank911]

next time try vinegar and baking soda. small amounts, it will foam.

[@johnrittle4165]

Hey Jayhawk , I'm going to rewire my whole 1951 chevy pick up. What harnesses would you suggest?

[@TheJayhawker]

You can find replacement harnesses from outfits like chevsofthe40s.com or Jim Carter for around $200. An original style cloth covered wire harness will cost much, much more. I however really enjoy building harnesses and so I buy new cloth wire from YNZ's yesterdays parts and build 'em myself, using what I pull out for a pattern. You can check out a couple videos I did on a '48 Chevy to see what that looks like.
