Very informal on demonstrating an outlining electrical circuits on old school chevy 1972 pkups very impressive ive learned alot about these .Ive got a 1969 im going to restore soon an this guy is very interesting an will teach you all you need to do is pay attention cause hes very good at this ..thank you im greatful for sharing your knowledge in wiring trucks .
Thank you for the compliment. I’m glad that the videos are going to be helpful to you . I’m also glad that you paid attention to the fact that there is more than one video , that breaks down the whole series of wires for this series of trucks. Thanks again and great luck on your upcoming restoration.
you do a great job explaining in detail every wire in the harness of a 67 to 72 Chevy c10 you have helped me more than any manual or other video, thank you
HisLordStigness Trace the wire back to where it makes the connection. The tail light section of the wires are connect to the main wiring harness under the bed of the truck. It should be pretty easy to replace the burnt section of wire , by way of splicing in a new piece.
@@PatinaCode i never saw where the brown fuel gauge wire ran to. I in a rear mounted tank and not sure where to run the sending wire to on the fuse block.
Jarhead6491 On the fuse box where the fuses snap into place , look for where it’s marked Fuel in white letters. There’s a spade there. That’s where you plug the sending unit wire in to the fuse box .
Thanks! I was lost.. still am cause my 71’ C10s wires are different colors- have the original harness but no labels are visible- just trying to get my dash panel wired up with the original plug
Glad the video was helpful to you. Sorry to hear that someone made a mess of your wires. You’re going to have to try and trace each one to see what it’s hooked up to . If you’re brave enough you can cut them out and start fresh, using what I’ve shown it these videos as a guide. Either way I hope you get things figured out , and thanks fir watching the videos. 👍🏽
i know this is a old video but i would have to say one of the best out there showing the whole 72 chev wiring. Just getting done my ls swap into my 72 and had a quick question for you if you happen to still be around. I did a ls swap so have deleted a lot of stuff like you were doing. The connector in this video explaining the turn signals and such is what i'm talking about. My problem is my signals not working. I have cut the end off and am using the individual wires to run to signal, high beam and emergency brake. My question is......if i don't have that connector hooked up do i still need that NEGATIVE (pin #7 ) that has the clip on it to hooked up? I'm picking up some new flasher relays on way home to rule them out but i think i'm having a grounding issue and that is the only ground i don't have hooked up. Sorry for the long question, any info would be greatly appreciated. my digital dash hooks to my holley that i am using to power the ls. I am only using led's to light the above lights. again thanks in advance. Jason
Yeah , I’m still around. The ground wire that you’re referring to that has the clip on it was there to ground that harness to the underside of the dash. Since you have deleted that harness and are using individual wires there is no need for it any longer, although, yes you will need to ground your new set up to make things work properly.
I really appreciate your help on this, I need to get your thoughts ... On this; I'd like to keep the original wiring harness, it is been very difficult finding one. What Would you recommend? Original or aftermarket??? ...
Honestly I prefer the original just for the simple fact that I know that it’s going to work every time if it’s in good condition. There’s nothing wrong with aftermarket and by aftermarket you mean new age blade fuse type . If you need extra spots for relays and such , I’d say do the aftermarket. If you are going to be running just stick components then the original will do perfectly. Check Classic Parts Of America . They have complete old style wiring harness as well as parts of the wiring harness. You can also look at LMC Truck . They have the things there as well.
@@PatinaCode ..."Thanks for your help." I have gone through ignition switch, two starters, when I was tracing the wires to the starter, I found some burnt wires. I want to do this right, someone told that since it was converted, it might take more amperage,??? ...
@@stevegarcia8376 If it’s a traditional 454 then , there’s nothing drawing power other than the HEI . The same HEI distributor can be used on a small block . Yes timing values may be a slight bit different, depending on the power out put , but they draw the same energy to light up . I’m sorry it takes me so long to reply. It’s just busy around here. I appreciate you checking out the videos. Thank you .
Activating headlight switch to "parking" or "on" should activate my dash lights BUT not with mine.Had I noticed all the headlight switches,I may have sensed an issue...it's my headache now.
Hi just got back . Ok , well if you don’t have a blown fuse then you may need to check the ground. There’s a ground strap that should be from the gauge cluster to the inside of the dash .
If you watch all of the videos that I have up about this vehicles wiring , I explain where each wire goes. You also could get the wiring schematic book on the 1967 - 1972 c10 . They’re not expensive at all .
I’m just a little confused. Because I have a 67 plug that has the dummy lights, but I purchased a rebuilt instrument cluster with all the mechanical gauges and volt meters and tachometer. But on that new printed circuit, the top half of the plug is totally separate from the printed circuit on the bottom half of the plug so it looks like I’m supposed to have a hot wire For the top half of the plug and another hot wire for the bottom half of the plug.

Thank you so much. For some reason I could not find my brake connector. I was able to find it on your video, then found it in my harness.
You’re welcome and I’m glad that the video was a help to you .
I like ur videos I need help on the ignition switch wiring for a72 blazer
Thank you . What’s the problem with the wiring on your ignition ?
I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. You my good man are a life saver... 🙏🙏🙏
You’re welcome. I’m glad that I was able to help . 👍🏽

This is great. One of the kids just said "That guys sounds like a narrator." Your channel needs to grow. Good stuff.
👍🏽😀 That’s funny . Thanks and I appreciate your support.
I’ve watched several of your videos, I installing a new wiring harness in my 72 C10 so they are exactly what I’m after, great work man!
Thank you . I’m glad that the videos were a help to you .👍🏽
When I was younger,turning on MY lights eventually activated the revolving light to the rear of the vehicle.
Thank you. I now know it is my tail light wire that was caught on fire. Great video

Patina Code yes! I need to replace it from the back of the fuse block to the connector pig tail under the dash
Thanks for the videos. Helped me out alot!

For instance- my double grey wires are on #12.. would that still be gage light/ heater light?and there’s a double green on #5? Ugh. Thanks!

You’re welcome and thank you . I’m glad that it’s helpful.
I have a 68'C10 454, I believe it was originally a 6 cylinder. I need the 5 pin wiring harness, do I need to get one for a BB?
It doesn’t have to be for a big block . All the wires you need to operate it will be the same as a v8 small block .

That’s a heck of a compliment ! Right on ! 💯🤘🏽
Activating headlight switch to "parking" or "on" should activate my dash lights BUT not with mine.Had I noticed all the headlight switches,I may have sensed an issue...it's my headache now.
, I did everything that I could do to try to make dash lights on a 72 pickup come on and no no progress what could be wrong
Hi just got back .
Ok , well if you don’t have a blown fuse then you may need to check the ground. There’s a ground strap that should be from the gauge cluster to the inside of the dash .
I didn't hear or see you explain the #8 two white wires.
How do you determine which wires go where? There’s nothing labeled.
If you watch all of the videos that I have up about this vehicles wiring , I explain where each wire goes.
You also could get the wiring schematic book on the 1967 - 1972 c10 . They’re not expensive at all .
I’m just a little confused. Because I have a 67 plug that has the dummy lights, but I purchased a rebuilt instrument cluster with all the mechanical gauges and volt meters and tachometer. But on that new printed circuit, the top half of the plug is totally separate from the printed circuit on the bottom half of the plug so it looks like I’m supposed to have a hot wire For the top half of the plug and another hot wire for the bottom half of the plug.
I got a 1978 C10 Cheyenne pickup how I could connect the initial the switch of that car is burned
What switch is burned ?
I can't make my lights two come on my dash of a 72 C10 pickup I did everything and they still won't work
The lights used to Blink on dash plus the red starting like used to come on but not no more
Installed new LED lights and still won't work
All I kept thinking was Nail clippers nail clippers nail clippers Buy some f****** nail clippers
😃😃
