Help with a project


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I've been busy. As you can see from the picture my son has an interesting project. This started life as a 1957 2 ton cab over box truck. Now it has been extended with suicide doors on the back and it's mounted on a 2003 W4500 GMC chasis. The bed is from a 57 fleetside that has been cut down and widened. However it's still in the garage. My daughter-in-law laid down the law that "Big Bertha" was to be ready to tow their new 35 foot 5th wheel camper. So a wooden bed has been installed to fulfill her "wishes". The picture was taken on the maiden voyage, both for the truck and the camper.

 

The problem is we can't find a wiring schematic for the donor truck, and the fuse box covers are missing. We have no idea what relays and/or fuses are for what circuits. We are trying to get the air conditioner to turn on. The indicator light lights, but we can't find any output.

 

If anyone knows where we can find wiring information, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys. I know someone has the info we are looking for. He has only been working on this since November 2011. He also has a full time job. Here is another of his projects. This was somewhat of a restoration rather than a creation.

 

He pulled his first camper, a 12 foot Scottie, with this.

Anyone have any ideas where I can find a schematic for a 2003 GMC W4500. I would think someone would have access to a service manual for one of these. They are common.

 

Please help.

Govtec4, my daughter-in-law said my son is out of town on business. I'll get the vin when he gets home. In the mean time, I can tell you the donor truck was a 2003 GMC W4500 cab over box truck. It was wrecked with only 63000 miles on it. I found it odd that it has a 5.7 instead of a 5.3 or 6.0, but I don't know much about the medium duty trucks.
