Three simple Questions

[WarBeard]

1. How does the Head light switch knob come off? I pulled pretty hard and it wont budge.

2. Door hinge pins....The top hole in my hinge is a little wallowed out. Does this mean the Dorman kit will work better for me? Or should I go ahead and get G.M pins and bushings like I had planned on?

3. I bought a speaker for the dash (4x10). My radio has left and right channels. How do I hook up my radio to one speaker, or do I just pick left or right?


1974 C/10 is what I'm working on today.

Cant seem to find the button on the switch to release the knob and shaft.

It's on the top of the switch, kinda hard to reach it.

Mine is on bottom
i got it brand new and it was hard to take off
took it to a old friends house hes 50 he took it out in like 2-4 mins lol

for the speaker just pick one from either a left or right channel

and it would be best to go with gm bushings

[WarBeard]

OK I got the switch out, pulled the dash to access the speaker. I had the door off so I could install the spring (It was missing) Reinstalled the door.

As for the radio that was installed.....It doesn't work the display is fried and crispy....Gotta find another 2 knob radio.

may not be good with only one wired but
use the left speaker
left is the "mono" sound
right is the "added" sound
I'm putting both (3 " from burb) fronts in the dash middle(3X10)dash hole
lower ohms rated speakers (than stock)will over heat the radio= toast

OK, found a 2 shaft radio. Gonna head out and wire it up and install the 4x10 in the factory dash location. so that part is done.

Now door pins!....I hear with the Dorman kit you drill out the hinge if it is wallowed out a little bit. Are the Dorman bushings a bigger O.D to fill this newly drilled hole. I know the G.M kit is the better way to go but I don't want the bushings to be loose in the wallowed out holes of my hinge.

GM has oversized bushing , least they used to anyways . Half the time it was so worn to didn't even have to drill to install them just knock them in

[WarBeard]

OK, Gotta look for that oversize one. Rest of the driver side holes look alright. I have never had the passenger door off YET...

[primrrd]

they used to make a "fluted" bushing kit for the check hinges that were oversize.

there was a lot of talk on bushings including part numbers here:

You might look for speaker that has 2 smaller built into one housing. THey use to make them for the stereo sound out of a one speaker dash, not the best sound since they were so close together but better than being unbalanced.

Stereo is done and I actually like the way it sounds, It's kinda "Classic"

Dual radio from Auto-zone $34.99
VOLFENHAG 4x10 speaker $11.00 found one on Craigslist.

[motornut]

Did you have any issues with your dash pad clearing the speaker?

[WarBeard]

Nope it fits really well.
