If someone was to show me something as simple as the pic below, with a short write up, I would be good to go in 10 minutes instead of starring at a bunch of black squigly lines

so from left to right

Red wire goes from the bolt on the alternator to this fusible link gizmo on the firewall

Yellow wire goes from the plastic Terminal 1 / Terminal 2 plug from the alternator and is spliced into the same red wire going to the fusilbe link gizmo on the firewall and also changes color to a different red wire that runs to the fuse block

Brown wire goes from the plastic Terminal 1 / Terminal 2 plug from the alternator to the fuse block directly

and I even show the big fat black negative battery terminal wire being grounded to the alternator bracket

maybe this helps somebody out maybe it doesn't, maybe some of you like it, maybe some of you don't, but it makes sense to me

I enjoy your thread greatly. THe only quibble I have is calling this thing rusty. Here in Michigan rusty implies box fell off, no rockers, no lower doors, and at least 1 cab mount is missing.

LOL.

Looks like lots of the magic happens on the little white step stool :)

Greg, dude, thanks for keeping this going! I re read a bunch of this and it will serve as a reference for quite some time into the future. Like the pictures of Rusty, out and about. Really cool that you went thru the process of grabbing that 833 4 speed OD. Would like to have that in a shorty like yours. Please don't get tired of taking it to the Gregski level and bringing it to us with your pictures and own brand of prose.

Thanks for the info and the entertainment!
