I wanted to see what shape the electrical systyem was in, so I hooked up a small 12v power supply. That let me test a few things out without risking a meltdown with the big amperage of the battery connected. Luckily everything seemed to go without incident. There’s definitely work to do getting all the lights working, but I was very pleased with the initial results. Some of the dash backlighting works, the trouble lights work, and the cab interior light works. The turn signal indicators light up, but they do not blink. That’s probably because the rear harness to the taillights is not connected. Even the windshield wipers and the washer pump are working. The pump needs to be rebuilt as all the rubber seals have deteriorated.
I cleaned up the battery tray and mounted that, and also installed a relay enclosure that will be used to run the ignition box, electric cooling fans, and the fuel pump.
