1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

Hey!! Pics # 1 and 3 above look like you drove the K18 over to the local housing projects and left her unattended for a few minutes!!

I kinda like seeing The K with the "hovering Delorean" ala Back To The Future III gig.

Carry on.

With all the parts hunted down nothing brings this unit into a specific model make and components put into it - take that for a challenge although we know Manufactured it.View attachment 574916View attachment 574917View attachment 574918View attachment 574919View attachment 574920View attachment 574921View attachment 574922

wow that is some nice looking harness installation there buddy. This truck will be a masterpiece when done. Keep up the good work.

I agree GE!! Zout is outdoing himself this time.

The rear axle replacement wheel bearings arrived and i have them packed and ready to go. I also got two new inner shim lock rings that were all beat to crap. The spindle nuts were repaired the other day. These will be getting installed tonight. Brake lines have been done but not bled but i already bled the master cylinder and its full of silicone fluid.

Front axles still waiting on return springs.

Looks like the ole K18-C will be ready to strut her stuff in the Veterans Parade this year. She may even make antother trip to the Georgia Rally.

Both sides of the original light switch are markings for wiring components - WHAT DO THEY MEAN.

I will give you a clue - truck had an electronic controlled brake controller - picture attached
truck was wired for trailer lighting
truck was wired for black out lights
truck was wired for very minimum marker lights as well as instrumentation lights
non of the light switch was wired into the radio gear - it was all independant

Here are your pics to study and post your responces.

OH yeah - PB wants some traction to get out of my yard - need 4 more rims and tires

Some of you guys amaze me with what you know how to do. Dave I wish that I knew half what you do.

AMEN Brother!!

At least I know enough to leave stuff alone so I won't mess it up so bad it can't be fixed by someone who knows how...LOL

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Craig, if you knew half of what Dave does, you would not be able to walk upright.

Agreed...he does more now than I could do when I was 20...LOL

 

[zout]

That is why i wrap duct tape around my head to hold my tin foil cap on.......equalibrium balancer.

 

[zout]

Thanks Craig - I am overrated.
K never had turn signals - flasher wired in with turn signal switch mounted.
Dimmer switch wired in
Both headlights wired into the main harness.
Remainder of harness ran to the tail lights but not touched yet.
Brake light switch wired in

Remainder of wiring is to the instrument cluster - to front clearance lights - ignition harness still needs wired in AND I still have the one in I used to temp start and operate the engine.

Neighbor called me as his skid steer fell through the bed of his trailer ()this is the one he let me borrow for a weekend - skid steer that is) - I told him to go get the wood and back it up to the garage - he was a little over of 45 minutes worth of work including 10 beers in the direct sun. Told him to leave me alone and go back to work now. I see more beer in my future.
