I sure hope American Autowire sponsors you because you made my decision on their products easy. I'm restoring a 67 C10 and after watching your video I actually can't wait to tackle the electrical side of my build. Thank you for your videos they are always great. May 2019 bring you great success and happiness with your future builds and UA-cam Channel.
Thanks for the Video. I appreciate you giving us all the necessary info but being short and to the point (too many videos have too much unrelated talking but not yours. I have purchased an American Autowire kit for my 1969 C10. Your video has given me a good idea of the installation involved. Thanks again!!
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for, very detailed, no nonsense, to the point, no wasted moments. I'm going to be completely rewiring a 64 impala. This helps alot. Thank you.
Awesome! Just picked up the same wire harness .. thanks for the look into the project! Your an awesome builder Sir, nice trucks! Mine is a “63” great looker bought it from Alabama.. guy wasn’t a mechanic at all.. I’m fixing certain things… got 45 k into mine so far… Love the old steel.. Again, nice trucks Sir!
Absolutely Sir, love the red one you’ve got restored very cool color! I’ve got a Tremec 5 speed to go into my “63”. Behind an engine I had built by “Hot Rod Company” they provided at the cost of right at 10k a 383 Stroker small block. They claim on the web that they routinely produce 514+hp in these.. Bull, valve train geometry is way off.. I’m having to fix their f-ups .. I think they get a rotating assembly and monkeys do the rest.. Ha ha, live and learn.. hey I’ve got lots of pics of that engine, nice serpentine accessories drive.. definitely show, but I’m having to “perfect” their lack of “detailing” let’s say… “don’t bother with them” but looks like a 10 k engine, I’ll give it that.. Hey, nice rides Sir! You rock as builder.. Keep the old steel rolling… P.S. mine went through inspection lanes for Delaware. Only failed for lights.. harness is mostly fried..
Watching your vids makes me miss mine... I had two.. 65 and a 66. I got the 65 in high school, and it had 25k original miles (292 straight 6, three speed on the floor (with low)). To this day, I had no idea or reason to sell it. Regretted it ever sense. I have a 89 K2500 nearly finished.. Bought it new.. frame up restored. Just need the weather to heat up a little, and stop raining.
That red truck is stunning, cant wait till I get there, I have a lot of rust repair to do... I couldn't of done it so easily without your videos so thank you a bunch!
Thoroughly enjoy your uploads. Like you, I'm working out of a single garage bringing back to life a '69 Grand Prix, so I appreciate the quality you seem to achieve in the space you have. I'm also inspired by your progress, and additionally, blown away with how organized and clean you manage to keep your work area. I try (and relatively speaking, my space is clean and organized), but looking at your working environment, I'm in awe. Thanks for positing! -A
Listen man...you do realize you are the best on the internet, don't you? All of us out here really appreciate you and your talents. I really wish our politicians had just one ounce of common sense, talent and work drive that you have...America is proud of you!!!
That's the way to go all new wires and new style fuse box you a gifted man everything you know how to do building trucks "1 man shop" you do it all that make it look super easy to work on trucks but I know it's hard work love your videos keep them coming 😉👍🏻
Beautiful trucks! Thank you for thos video. I have my Dads 63 needs a lot of TLC. Shipping it from Hawaii to Idaho. Praying I can find someone to do this.
Why can’t you be my neighbor? I could learn quite a bit. I’m doing an 85 camaro v6 to a carbed 90s LT1 stroker. Now I’m learning to fix all my wiring screw ups. I need a kit like what you had.👍🏻🇺🇸
I was considering helping a friend on redoing his 77 F150 harness.. but the kits are waaaaayyy more expensive then we imagined. I was expecting up to 350 ish, but this system in the vid is almost a grand. Holly Cow!
Doing some major updates on a 57 Chevy. Even though I'm a retired electrician, I'm NOT looking forward to doing the wiring since the goal is to make it VERY NEAT and hide as much as possible. Thanks for showing us around. As always, very nice work. Happy New Year !!!
I used the same vender for my 57 Belair. Everything connected up perfectly. I’ll use the same on my 61 Chevy truck when the time comes. Gibson, keep up the good work.
Nice wiring kit for the C10 brother. I looked into the script valve covers you have on your Pop's 350 and there sweet covers but the price on them are way more then this old man can let go at this time but they sure are sweet and cast aluminum I would have never guessed they were! I'm also going with the Ram Horn exhaust manifolds less chance of bolts backing out and leaks. I just picked up a nice clean older Eddy C3BX intake manifold with the oil fill tube for my 327 next Holley Carb. I'm getting there one baby step at a time lol... l can't wait to get all my other parts then get my 327 put together and dropped in my C10 this summer God Willing. I haven't made my mind up yet if I'm going to stay with the original 3 on the tree and it's old M318 3 speed tranny or pick up a rebuilt Turbo 350 auto tranny for my C10 ?? Eather way it's going to be alot more fun driving around my old Blue Smurff C10 after I switch out engines.That old 250 in-line 6 cylinder just keeps going an going but there not much fun for a Saturday night run if you know what I mean lol... Remember what I said before if I win the lottery I'll get ahold of you Gibby and set up an appointment for you to fix up my 63 C10 shorty fleetside after you get your Dad's done lol... Gibby that's one sweet gift for your Pops. Keep on Trucking brother...
Yea man those valve covers were a little pricey but they sure are cool, good score on the intake manifold your right about those 250 engines thay just keep going
Really looks good Gib. Followed you and the red truck from beginning to finished product. Great job. l'm just getting started on my '65 gmc. Have done some....sb 400, turbo 350, '76 chevy a arms, disc brakes, pwr steering and brakes but that's as far as the money went so far. Really admire your work. Keep up the good work........don't stop on this one, do another one.
I recall watching one of your episodes that you put an ididit tilt column in your red truck I was hoping to see if you can list the part number I'm curious to see if I could use the same one in my 65 C10 which looks like you should fix that problem thanks again awesome work
Wow, your doing awesome gob, mine should be in the same stage yours is but it has been just hard to get on it, plus I have no garage, just a car port outside in the elements, but it will get done
Appogzizes for asking I looked for the link on vendor for wiring hardware. I'm starting on a 65 c10 and would like to change out the wires Thx awesome work on some awesome trucks
Thank you for all you do . I have a 1963 k10 carry all (Suburban). I want to turn it all disc. Maybe you or your friends know what year is best to get for a front axle.
Looking great! Never thought to use some soundproofing of the cabin? Or is that too much off the style? It must feel like listening the engine in a tin can.
So are all the connectors already wired on. I saw you solder the one connection do you have to do all of them or was that something different for a little insurance. I’m gonna need to do this to my 72 el Camino that burnt up the whole front end.
Any chance you would start putting links to the actual parts you purchase in the bottom of the description of the videos? That is a nice wiring harness.
I keep coming back to this videos for a recap and motivation to keep this old truck on the road. Thanks
No matter what stage the truck is in.... it's alwsys a blast to take a cruise in it!!! Thanks for the ride brother!!!! w.w.

I really like how the wires are hidden in the engine bay. The test drive was cool too. Nice work!

I have to rewire my 64 el Camino any tips?
It's coming along and lookin good, your dad will be happy to have such nice truck that you built with such attention to detail !
Making that job look easy. Dreading doing my nova. Going with the same brand you are using and liking what I see.

Amazing work !!!!!! Motivational for sure ! Thank you
You're the neighbors I hope for but never have. I'm sipping on my morning coffee getting tips while my harness is being delivered.
Love this build! Great job as always. Keep 'em coming. Keeps me motivated for my short bed, step side build.
Needed this. I have to redo my electrical system and I’m not a mechanic. Helps with a little bit of motivation
My dad and I are restoring my 62 c10, and your videos have been very helpful. The blue Chevy looks amazing. Keep up the good work.
Blue Bass Productions Thanks
You should look at the red one. Its a work of art.
@@sleeper71chevelle1 yeah. The red 63 is unbelievably well done. By the way, I'm guessing that you're a big Chevelle fan?
I have a few healthy drivers. I am not a restorer at all.
Listen man...you do realize you are the best on the internet, don't you? All of us out here really appreciate you and your talents. I really wish our politicians had just one ounce of common sense, talent and work drive that you have...America is proud of you!!!

I used the same vender for my 57 Belair. Everything connected up perfectly. I’ll use the same on my 61 Chevy truck when the time comes. Gibson, keep up the good work.
Great video! Excellent descriptions and camera work. I also liked that we were rewarded with a nice test drive at the end. Very satisfying to watch.
Great video !! I just bought a 69 gmc sierra. I'm to start a rewiring job on. This helped me out.

James Pinckard will see what happens after this one I’ll be on the look out no doubt
I am liking that wiring harness. Very nice.
Really nice work Steve. Wiring job is really neat. Good thing the Po Po wasn't out in your neighborhood during the test drive. lol
I recall watching one of your episodes that you put an ididit tilt column in your red truck I was hoping to see if you can list the part number I'm curious to see if I could use the same one in my 65 C10 which looks like you should fix that problem thanks again awesome work
Wow, your doing awesome gob, mine should be in the same stage yours is but it has been just hard to get on it, plus I have no garage, just a car port outside in the elements, but it will get done
You made that look easy. My stock harness is all chopped up. I’ll be getting this kit soon.
Where can I buy the kit from
Wow! What a great job. You make stuff look so easy.
It sounds great. Looks good too.
Good job Steve. Wish I had half of your energy.
The blue truck has came along way like it a lot. You do great work
Great to see the old girl alive again! Cheers
Looks like a great wiring kit nice work
I which l can fund same body like your talent in Las vegas,keep the job well done
Awesome video and show how
You do good work. 👍
Amazing work! Really enjoy your channel, envious for either truck. My dream👍 happy new year
Maureen Toy Thanks man
Nice job!
You are going to make Papa Gibson cry when he gets this. Cheers.
Nice! If you were close by I would love to have you redo my wiring harness. Looks really good. Good job!
We need a buddy like my Gibson!!!
Beautiful work señor !!
Hermen Lomas Thanks
Nice workmanship!!
Cool L79 Air Cleaner!
Getting there, nice harness ty for sharing
Appogzizes for asking
I looked for the link on vendor for wiring hardware. I'm starting on a 65 c10 and would like to change out the wires
Thx awesome work on some awesome trucks
Fantastic!
Looking really good!
Very nice.
Damn nice work man, runs like a champ. Have a good one.
Military Chevy Thanks man
Sir absolutely beautiful job I know she’s going to be absolutely beautiful
That’s man Everything turned out great
Coming along nicely!
Looks like a nice kit. I woulda saved a bunch of time and hassle if I would have bought one.
MrHevyshevy yea this is a great wiring kit the instructions are pretty easy to go by also
nice work gonna be a cool old truck
The Paint Shack Thanks man
That looks amazing
Man that's the way to do it!
Awesome job.
i bought a 1976 c10 from a gentlemen who hacking the living hell out of the wires nothing works lol thanks for the video im buying this
Awesome job
Can you do a video on how you got the wiring harness ready to be plug and play
Nice work, anyone would be proud of it....
I might have missed it if you explained it. Did you wire the voltage regulator or does this harness no longer need to use it?
What supplies power to the fuse box? I’m confused on how that works. Do you wire + from ignition switch to fuse box to supply power?
Good job Gibson. Wiring looks clean and neat.
wiley gailey Thanks man it’s coming together
Great job
Outstanding!
just installed the same kit in my 64 c10
That’s smooth!!!!...
Thank you for all you do . I have a 1963 k10 carry all (Suburban). I want to turn it all disc. Maybe you or your friends know what year is best to get for a front axle.
I still have this paintable rear bumper for a fleetside if you're interested. Never unboxed from LMC trucks. Yours if you pay freight.
Glenn Miller friend of mine already gave me one thanks anyway
I like 👍
where can I buy that kit for my 1966 C10 , awesome video.
Summit racing or American autowire
u da man 4 reals
Forgive me for this but I never understood why my c10 has 2 small wires going to the starter. I know ones start but what’s the other for?
Looking great! Never thought to use some soundproofing of the cabin? Or is that too much off the style? It must feel like listening the engine in a tin can.
So are all the connectors already wired on. I saw you solder the one connection do you have to do all of them or was that something different for a little insurance. I’m gonna need to do this to my 72 el Camino that burnt up the whole front end.
So this kit works without the firewall Bulkhead.
Did you order the wiring through the LMC
Great job! I have an 85 GMC shortbed I want to tackle the wiring on, this video was great.
Did you strip out all the wires yourself?
I stripped all the old wiring out and put in alll new
Great video sir much appreciated, where did you get the wiring harness from?
I didn’t get the same wiring kit. Yours is very detailed and cooler... what did you pay for it? And is it better to just rewire the hole truck.
It was a little over $500 in this case it was better to rewire the whole trunk yes
Yeah I was thinking about doing that instead of trying to use the pre-existing wiring.
Any chance you would start putting links to the actual parts you purchase in the bottom of the description of the videos? That is a nice wiring harness.
SteveTX Just might start doing that I ordered this from Amazon got here in three days thanks
So what wiring kit was that?
I'm getting ready to do a 65 and have never done a wiring harness so I'm a lil intimidated by it.
Trey Phillips Don't b intimidated man. If you have a little common sense it's pretty much straight forward man.
Great content and helpful videos. Where do you get your parts you replace for the c10? Thanks
