Re: Restoring Rusty
Looks good man. I can't wait to see how the hood turns out. My hood is bent so bad it looks like a "U". Almost but not all the way...lol.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hope you don't get bugs in the paint. Should have draped mosquito netting over the ole swing set.

couple more shots of the ignition switch itself
on mine not all the blades are used, I'm sure yours will differ |
Re: Restoring Rusty
Could this been the problem with your truck not wanting to start the first go around? Little electrics are a pain in the butt aren't they.

I think a broken Ignition Lock Cylinder is more like the culprit as the end part has broken into three pieces, it is that part that pushes on a metal rod which runs down the steering column down to the actual ignition switch, it's how they did back in the day, when Mechanical Solutions ruled the world |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hood turned out nice!

Re: Restoring Rusty
did the lock cylinder fix the problem? otherwise it could be a broken ignition rack or that plastic gear. (little more down the column)

found this page on the interwebs that explains what each wire does on the turn signal switch wiring harness ie the non ignition switch wires that run up the steering column
this isn't the exact part / plug match but the wires seem identical, so it might could help somebody out, I know it beats the wiring schematics for me anyways white - stop lamp switch (what is that?) green - right rear turn signal yellow - left rear turn signal purple - turn flasher (what is that?) brown - hazard flasher dark blue - right front turn signal light blue - left front turn signal black - horn |

this shows what the pins on the ignition switch are, mine doesn't use all of them but the ones that it uses match

Diagram of the two plugs the white one and the black one that plug in to the ignition switch and what they do
WHITE CONNECTOR Pink - Start & Run (connect this to the ignition) ... Pink is ignition, pink is ignition, pink... Purple - Start (connect this to the starter solenoid)... Purple is starter, purple is starter... Red - This is the Battery connection bringing power into the switch. Red is usually power, red... Brown - Accessory & Run (Accessories....) BLACK CONNECTOR Red - This is the Battery connection bringing power into the switch. Orange - Run (connect this to power anything in the Run state) I also have a Dark Brown / White Stripe wire going here, not sure what it's for Light Brown / Black Stripe - Start position switches this lead to ground |
