That is a big step getting it gutted out.

Hey man, been a while since I’ve checked in here. It’s definitely coming along nicely.

Johnny,
Don’t think I didn’t see the post where you mentioned selling “my obsession” in Nashville!
I’m actually trying to work out a plan to be in Nashville for the C10 Nationals.

Oh Carmenita,
You'll get to obsess soon enough! I'm pulling the rear window next week so I can paint the cab interior properly.
If you saw the color of her firewall, picture the cab and doors with that shine...

Good bones on that truck. The color on the firewall is clean. It's gonna be a looker when she's done. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Nick! When the c-19 hit last year I made some progress.
All of the suspension components were disassembled and soaked in Molasses & Water, 1:9 ratio. It dissolves all the rust and gunk. Used a rubber based undercoating to seal them.
The firewall is the factory match, Going to do inside the cab the same, leave the patina'd paint on the outside.

About to drop the 383 back in, made a punch list of what needs to get done BEFORE there is little room...
Anyone seen a relay like this? Assuming it is a relay
Looks factory with the ground strap, or not?

Well in light of no response AND the fact that I can't find replacements, it must be an aftermarket MacGyver rig.
Cant' say it's a bad approach, having trucks who have increased resistance on the solenoid wire when things are really HOT.

That whole gizmo appears add-on. Where did it connect?

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Whatever is going on there is ready for a funeral. Get that out of there and toss it in the trash.

Thanks guys
It was connected to the starter. The male spade was occupied by the solenoid wire.
One of those funky leads was tied to the B+ post of the starter, the other to the solenoid terminal.
So in theory, the relay bypassed the B+ from the ignition switch, and fired the starter from a local HOT source of B+.
