    Not a dumb question

    there isnt one. Just individual electrical fuses on important power lines. there are inline fuses for the radio, heater , fuel gauge, and a few others i can't remember right now . But no usual fuse box or panel.
     
  3. The real cheap model did not. It was the same basic lay out as the tri 5 is. That includes the pick ups.

    Do your self a favor for the time spent and money buy a new wire harness. I had a rats nest wire harness on one of my cars and it was nothing but trouble every time it was driven. Lights worked when they wanted to and i had a short which almost burned the car up . The best money ever spent.

    a 54 chevy has no fuse box ???
    that's really weird, i've never heard that before.
    when did fuse boxes start becoming standard equipment ??

    Many '54s don't have one ... an accessory fuse panel was available for easier installation when more optional equipment was used.

    I had a few fuses on the firewall, underneath the dash on the driver side. But like raceratrod said you should buy a new one and rewire it.

    I had to relearn everything I "knew" about cars with my 53. The wiring really threw me, as most of it runs of the gauge cluster and the voltage regulator. I'll probably rewire it when I swap moto- engines. :rolleyes:
