    I used Excel in automotive wiring systems (once upon a time). I'd still rather wire a vehicle then build an engine or transmission. Early hearing your electrical plight on the 52, I kept thinking "grounds." Grounds are the most neglected portion of any one wiring a system. Always think grounds. Thats my plug nickle advice. However, you're making lots of progress, I'm just a peon watching SIr.

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle День назад

      Absolutely...I have ground wires everywhere on this thing!

  • @mikesimmons6063
    @mikesimmons6063 День назад

    You could have tested the column without tearing it apart. I suspect a cheap wiring harness without any documentation. One flasher? That was definitely the wrong harness for what you are trying to do.

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle День назад

      It's fixed now, so it doesn't matter.I only took the wheel and adapter off to see if it was a stock Chevy switch. The knob for the 4-way was sticking in the on position and a crappy connector was the issue, thanks for watching!

  • @JimTaylor-ui6yr
    @JimTaylor-ui6yr День назад

    I'd been thinking ground before you tore into the column, Dan! Thanks for the great videos!

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle День назад

      Thanks. Turned out to be a sticky 4-way knob and a crappy connector...I'm just glad it was that easy to fix!

    Ray and Dae here it’s looking very nice you must be excited to see the end of this project. We are looking forward to the 56 Chevy whenever you decide to start it and that will be a very lengthy project. Thanks for another great video.

  • @wolftrainservicesltd6418
    @wolftrainservicesltd6418 День назад

    I hate anything electrical. Ground on electrical always pisses me off. Especially running lights on a semi trailer when it comes in contact with moisture and salt.

    • @dirtydansrodncycle

      Just gotta have a little patience!

    @OwlNest-zi9nw День назад

    Great video, as always. Steering column is from China. I am sure you said in an earlier video, but I am just curious as to what brand of wiring harness you installed? Is that import as well?

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle День назад

      Yep...had to deal with a couple mis-labelled wires and add a 2nd flasher...other than that it wasn't that bad! Thanks!

    Hey Dan Just a thought . Is it possible the plug on the column is pinned wrong ? Maybe the switch is good ? Ya Maybe . Cheers

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle 2 дня назад

      no...everything is hanging there because we tested everything for continuity

    Screwed by a screw! A Steering column from China also screws!! Be careful of an older turn signal switch because of plastic degradation. Re-doing work is what I'm accustomed too. Keep the faith Sir!

    • @dirtydansrodncycle

      Thanks! It looks to be in really good shape, I think I'm gonna be ok!

    I hate having to fix others mistakes. Especially when I’m paying for it. There is no excuse for poor quality of work. As much junk as china builds, I have no idea how they have planes that can fly. 😂. Keep up the good work Dan…

      I've heard stories, but I'd still like to check it out once, just to see it for myself. I've heard there's many a deal made in the parking lot for vehicles not even in the auction.

  • @RBTrujillo1
    @RBTrujillo1 5 дней назад

    I stopped watching the live classic car/truck auctions because I believe these live auctions drove the prices way too high. Nice cars and trucks to look at, but that's it. They're priced out of my league. Square bodies are cool trucks, I have one but needs paint. A nice box of gifts you got there Sir!

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle 5 дней назад

    Well if we are lucky canada will be taken over by Trump and 10 provinces will give the states 60 states. Then quicker from western canada to southern ontario by 12 hours. Im getting alot of requests for 60s , 70s, 80s trucks. 40s and 50s one in ten. Anything older that 1955 not popula 5:05 r at all. Model a and model t vehicles are dead. I like 1947 Fords, but no requests for those any more. It seems. Your 38 was the oldest in some time. Then I was offered four 1938 trucks. So I'm putting them out there. One is going to you for parts. The others ?????

    it's crazy, being in Georgia prices are crazier than other states and lower than some, with prices the way they are there's no way I could build a project, I'd save buying something complete, it's sad. The trucks getting close. I'm going to miss that project.

    • @dirtydansrodncycle
      @dirtydansrodncycle 5 дней назад

      Yep...I saw many of these cars go over the block getting a 1/4 or 1/3 of what they cost to build...doesn't make sense!

      @dirtydansrodncycle 8 дней назад

      It appears to be an exact copy of the original with spot welds ect. in the proper location. Quality seems good and it has some weight to it...I'm happy with it. Not sure the manufacturer, but I bought it from Bills truck shop.
