That's a nice one! Looks clean plus no rips in the seat! Looking through the pics it looks like the heater core isn't hooked up which where you are doesn't matter!
What's the little toggle switch under the steering column do?

Also me looking at the drivers side alternator it looks like a plug is missing? Little ding sticking out right next to the positive battery output. I had to go look at one of mine to make sure. Tough to see in the pic so I took one from mine.
The grounds look good on yours too. I replaced the plug that goes to the regulator that's why the wiring looks new. Oil cooler lines look like they don't leak. The battery hold downs you can make with 1/4 20 ready rod about 9 inches long. They fit in the holes in the bottom of the battery tray.

These trucks came stock with the group 31 batteries so the hold down spots are there for that size too. Have fun with it!

Yeah I'm going to put a new heater core in, I assume it needs one. Toggle switch went to wires to the back of the truck. Assumed some lighting that was removed? I took all the excess wiring and that switch out.

I hear that! Could be a hook it up and see if it leaks. It doesn't hurt to take the box out though and put new felt on the flapper doors to seal up. No need in helping heating up the inside in the summer!
