    It looks so funny to see a 110 outlet on the firewall. When I was 16 my friend bought a partially completed Kit car from a woman whose son unfortunatley died in 'Nam and she wanted it gone. We were kids and knew zilch about wiring. He wired a good portion of the car with extension cord wires. It was ugly but it worked.

    way back, I had a '49 GMC 3/4 ton. replaced the original engine with a 235 I rebuilt. previous owner had moved the battery under the hood, leaving the trap door and battery box on the passenger side floor for beer storage. have fun.

  • @1957kwick

    The first one. It was probably originally for a block heater. The block heater plugs into the outlet under the hood the outlet coming out of the grill plugs into the wall at the house.

  • @chuckstith838
    @chuckstith838 4 года назад +2

    I'll bet that the 120 volt plug was for a block heater. When the truck was parked overnight and it was freezing cold he would plug it into a outlet and the other end is plugged into a block heater.

    OK I gave thought to the wall socket on the firewall.
    The person that owned it before was going to make the truck electric.
    One end was to the motor and the other to the very long, I mean long, extension cord.
    I are smart !

    Hey Brent , another fun to watch and learn video. Lori agrees keep the electrical box on the firewall . A few Saturdays ago on youtube there was a photo of your recently aquired 1949 to 1951 Dodge / Plymouth 4 door sedan .Looked white in color . Once upon a time didn't you have one of them and it showed up at tons of outdoor car shows that summer. Wasn't it the autograph car that had a sharpie marker on it and anyone could autograph it. I recall the next time I heard about it was Hot Rodded .Hope I have not embarassed you my friend. It was a bunch of years ago , think the owner had a cowboy hat . Maybe thinking of someone else !

    Keeping it simple, your a one man production plan as you take em as they come and turn it into something that someone else can follow and it just makes sense or at least it does to me. I sure like how the parts warehouse is just stuff saved from the last twenty so jobs, an thin them out when it has been picked through enough times that you know all the stuff in that pile and back say ten or more times. I just watched a hagerty build on seat covers and there was some ideas used that you might garner something out of it as all guys who make their own. I will put it in an if you have time then take a peak at it. I kinda like the method of the metal ring and those clips he used the way he done.
