Wow, that is super duper, great truck.

I'm afraid the fuse panel pictures you gave link and picture for are for 67-72. The IGN UNFUSED connectors on the fuse panel are arranged differently and the fuse panel is different on your truck. But the connectors are there and labeled IGN UNFUSED. That is what you can use for coil power on a non-points type distributor.

I would disconnect old coil wire from starter R terminal and bulkhead connector; there's no point in having a powered wire laying around to potentially short to ground. If you find where it connects to the bulkhead connector, you can just replace it and get power from that position. I'm afraid I don't have detailed information, as I have a 1969 truck. I'm not sure if they used resistor wires in 60-66 or used regular wire with a ballast resistor.
