Thanks, I try and keep my mind busy
Not sure if off topic photos are allowed but here's a quick run down on the engines in those pictured
T-bucket , old school 355 solid flat tappet, double hump heads, this went 7.30's in a 66 nova, t-bucket weighs 1840 lbs which is about 1,000 less than the nova
41 Chevy p/u, big M based 540 that made just shy of 800 hp, currently getting a bigger blower, bigger carbs and bigger fuel system
51 Henry J, AFR head 489 stroker, full roller that made 600 hp and 600 tq with a pro comp intake and a worn out 850 single carb, should do a little better with the tunnel ram
What the engine will look like for the blue 57 Chevy p/u, still need a set of heads and a cam for the 11-1 355 short block I have for it
I also collect 60's vintage speed parts and wheels, one of the reasons I chose the Tahoe because it can haul stuff in the back...lol
Shovelhead 80 ci that goes potato potato potato

Thank you, as you can tell I'm an old school kind of guy so I'll have plenty of questions about working on this Tahoe, I'm also a little leery about screwing something up electronically since the whole thing is linked together. I also have to pull the reigns back on modifications (like on the blue 57) since eventually the Tahoe will be my daily driver, winters and all.
Living in the rust belt where vehicles just rust away, I don't want to do to many mods because in the end the vehicle will be worth chump change, like my 02 Z71 Silverado with only 160 k on the clock but heavily rusted underneath.
But anyways please bare with me on some of my questions, I like to research stuff before jumping in on the projects because I physically don't last to long anymore (especially in precarious positions) so having a set plan is paramount to helping avoid to much torture.

So what exactly am I removing to get to those wires, there's lots of things "under the radio" ?

Yup, he's asking what exactly needs to be moved to access the horn wiring.

Yes, what needs removed to access those wires that need put back together ?
I seen in another thread the guy said he got to them without removing the console, asked the same question there but no reply.
