Have a great one folks!

Got a new set of rubber hinge gaskets for the '39.   They are one piece and I assume they have to be cut, is this correct?

*****   edit...  I think I just have the wrong alternator just got back home from auto zone …   

OK so still have a problem,  alternator isn't doing anything,  unhook the battery and car dies.

Rather off topic for this board, but couldn't find an ansewer on my limited access to the internet.

Vehicle- 2003 (03-06) 2wd Silverado, 5.3/4L60/ Variable Power Assist Rack and Pinion Steering.

My buddy Tom hit a deer yesterday so I went to go pick him up at the Chevy dealer 50 miles away. This is the most miles I have drove in one shot since getting the pickup last Sept. By the time I got there my wrists and arms were spent from this stiff steering. Tom had to drive me back home. Note...there is absolutley nothing wrong with the steering on this pickup, its me and this damned arthritis!

Is there anyway that you fellas know of to Fool, Bypass, Disable the variable assist to go full assist power steering (easy steer-light feel- good old fashioned power steering)?  If it were a 97-98,  they still had a gearbox and you could simply unplug the wires at the back of the pump and go full time/full power assist. 99-06 changed to rack and pinion and maybe tied into electronic brake control system.

I think I'm just screwed and limited to a 50 mile radius when I drive alone. Any ideas  would be greatly appriciated.

I can put the car on the road after these gremlins are found.

Heres what happens.   Pull headlight switch, I have running lights and market lights.

Hit blinkers , nothing .  hit brakes , Nothing .   hazard button (  hear the relay clicking but no hazard lights come on )

I had the old lady stand behind the car , it appears I can get a rear directional to light up ONLY IF the running lights are on but it wont blink … turn off all lights , nothing .

So pretty much the car has nothing besides running lights and tail lights.   Directional and stop light fuses are good , getting power to the brake light switch.
I know the brake light switch comes out and goes into the turn signal switch.   The blinker switch is ancient and I have a new one coming from autozone tomorrow, going to just plug in the pigtail and see if anything decides to work .

I have 2 ground in the front by each marker light and one in the rear .   

It is set up as a RS camaro with correct RS front and rear body harnesses ( new)  The dash harness is non-RS and original .  Not sure what the heck i have on my plate right now . any help is appreciated , i want to drive this thing but dont want to get rear ended LOL
