Fixed, finally. One switch powers gauges and fuel pump, one powers the ignition switch, the other six are free. The alternator still doesn't self excite at draw, but as soon as the engine hits 1500-2000 rpm it's there. I'm happy for now. Truck runs like a top.

After a long couple weeks, it's back to life. Plugged everything in, flipped the switch and the pump came on. Sounds a bit weak, but it works AND the truck runs now. Big thank you to everyone for their input.

I'll pass it on and post pics when finished. This is going to be awesome!

That is correct

A few good taps with a pin and it's tight as new. Thanks for the advice.

I'll try that, when I put it together the fuse seemed to hold the clip in place but it's cockeyed quite a bit. Definitely don't want it falling out

No need to be self conscious guys, just because it isn't a show truck doesn't mean it's ineligible! To prove that I'll nominate two and a half ton Tilly the wonder Jeep, an absolute workhorse of rusty green iron. Who's going to run with her?

After a day of dodging raindrops, sorting wires, and reading, I found a post from 2014 that suggests the hack job seen here is mostly correct, with the exception of wire 1 being hooked to nothing and burnt to a crisp. I am going to repair it and connect it along with wire 15 (battery voltage) to...

So glad to hear!!! With everything new it should run forever now! Glad it's back for you

Friends don't let friends hack wiring harnesses.

I like it how it is, cutouts sound like a lot of Dremel work.

Exterior box section: 16 1/2" Interior box section: 14" I have an A2, not an A2C, so no slats/drop sides, and mine came without bows or cover, but I hope this helps some. Edit: my data plate has a height clearance of 13 feet 2 inches, I'm assuming that's the cargo cover height, hopefully...

I went back and found where you listed the part number for the pump, 32gph, 4.5-9 psi, 1/8"x27 npt fittings. Is that correct? This one? https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_6101034 If it is I think your guess is correct and it's not supplying nearly enough fuel to keep that thirsty girl fed...

Looks like good bones though, congrats!

Putting it back together and I noticed the lead from the fuse to the pump on the distribution block inside the top cap is loose, the copper rivet and the fuse holder spin together with miniscule pressure applied, but I noticed there's a "stop block" on the distribution block, is it designed to...
