Had to subscribe. I just bought the same car for $800 this weekend. Over 90% complete as far as original parts on the car , runs, drives, stops and only 1 spot of through the metal rust. 390 auto. I am fixing electrical gremlins that previous owners caused. I can not find a fuse box! Is there not a fuse box for 62 Galaxie 500s?
@woodlandcammo27 Thanks man I appreciate it, and yeah I got this thing for about $700 and put about 6 grand into it. And yes there is a fusebox, not much though lol only 4 or 5 glass fuses in it. If you look where the key ignition is, almost on the direct opposite side of the dash is that little "box" it's a pain to get to since its fixed there, I plan on ripping out the whole dash eventually and redoing all the wiring from scratch, I hate fuseable links
@Ebaum744 Jeezus. I saw that box and it does not look like a fusebox at all. Just saw a rats nest of wires. Another question I had was tail lamps and parking/turnsignal lamps. Does yours have backup lights/lenses? The parking/turn signal lamp covers were clear. Do you put yellow bulbs in them or kep them clear? Thank you for the responses.
@woodlandcammo27 Yea mine has reverse lights, but I gotta redo the wiring cause it's dinked right now, but my parking lights/turn signals up front have amber lenses, '62 was the year they changed from clear to amber, so some galaxies came with them clear and the rest came with amber, I do believe I just used clear bulbs, I can't remember I haven't taken a look in a long time, if you have any more questions just gimme a shout and I'll try to help ya! Thanks for the sub!
