Title: 74 chev pu backup light
Post by: usaeagle6 on July 16, 2010, 01:12:14 pm

Where is the backup light switch located on this truck?

Also, I do not see a backup light fuse on the fuse panel.  Does it not have one or is it combined with some other fuse?

The tail lights and turnsignals work, but the backup and licence lamp do no.

Any suggestions?

I recommend a manual. Surf Ebay for the factory manual. you can get them brand new, or used. Even a Chiltons/Haynes will be sufficient for most things.

  On my 74 with a sm465, it is on the transmission, drivers side up toward the top of the transmission.
