We just recently purchased this 1960 Pontiac Strato Chief wagon.

A different thread that a site member started about a Beaumont bronze interior has gotten badly derailed (and I am partly to blame!) so I thought it might be best to separate it.

Hey Brian, here you go! It is located on the flat spot right directly above the passenger-side trunk hinge (you can just see the hinge top at the bottom of the picture).

In this vein I though if I do restore them I better do them justice and get...

Does anyone make replacement fuse contact terminals for the 60's style block? Mine are in tough shape. Rusted up pretty good, probably beyond redemption.

Even with a dead simple fuseblock like the 65-66 B body, it can be sometimes a little perplexing as to how and what the fuses actually feed, the power paths, and how they are actually fed. You can't really see what's going on unless you have the block off and can see the back. While the 65-66 chassis manual...

So over the last 3 years, I've collected up some better tailamp and bezel parts for the 65. As a bonus, the car came with left and right NOS lenses, and a complete right assembly.

Took the front Running/Signal lamps out of the 65 in an effort to find a small job that I can occupy myself with (I love these jobs). They are working fine, but look pretty grungy, the hope is the sockets are still good enough to save. Bought some 1157A LED's for them on Amazon. I'll do a before and after t...

I'm thinking the Electrical section is kind of light on reference material, so I'll try to add what I can. wouldn't it be nice to have something like this over on CT? I can only image the amount of work this took. Anyone know how you produce and store this kind of PDF type document to link to? Kind of wonky, s...
moved 1965/66 B body Fuseblock Detail (Preview)	General Electrical Forum	8	1889	Jan 10, 2022 by cdnpont
Even with a dead simple fuseblock like the 65-66 B body, it can be sometimes a little perplexing as to how and what the fuses actually feed, the power paths, and how they are actually fed. You can't really see what's going on unless you have the block off and can see the back. While the 65-66 chassis manual...

So over the last 3 years, I've collected up some better tailamp and bezel parts for the 65. As a bonus, the car came with left and right NOS lenses, and a complete right assembly. I have one fairly nice bezel, and two other complete assemblies that are far better than what is in there now. I also have a full w...
moved 1965 Laurentian Front Running/Signal lamp resto. (Preview)	65-70 Full Size Body Tech Forum	23	1462	Mar 17, 2021 by 63gpman
Took the front Running/Signal lamps out of the 65 in an effort to find a small job that I can occupy myself with (I love these jobs). They are working fine, but look pretty grungy, the hope is the sockets are still good enough to save. Bought some 1157A LED's for them on Amazon. I'll do a before and after t...
