Is this anything like your corvette?

Found it in Carbohydrate's thread on 2010 Seattle Vintage Guitar Show. Maybe he can help track down the owner of that example, and then maybe that person can help you.

Go to Seymour Duncan and get the diagram for 2 humbucker, 2 tone and 1 volume control....that should do you up just fine....
Just an educated guess

Send all the pics you can there, and I can see about getting you some solid advise if the Seymour site doesn't help...although it should
