I got a && c-10 with a 80 body. Whoever swapped out the body cut everything with clippers and bypassed all of the fuses in the cab. When I got it everything was unplugged from the fuse panel. I built a harness for the engine compartment, but don't have power to the cab. I would like to use the existing fuse panel, but have no experience. can't afford an after market digital fuse panel, so I was thinking about rewiring the existing panel or bypassing it. Since there is only a few things that need power to be road worthy, Headlights, dimmer, signals, brake lights, I thought a bypass would be OK. Truck has no column ignition switch. Toggle switch for kill and battery isolate and push button for starter. Could use some simple diagrams for wiring in this scenario. All help would be appreciated.

First off welcome to the site.
What does &&c-10 mean ? ??? Is it the whole 80 body ? Cab, front end, bed, or what ?
In our technical pages we have the Service Manuals (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=25639.0) for our trucks. We also have wiring manuals there also, though they are hard to see. I prefer to use theComplete 73-87 wiring manuals (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=11766.msg87585#msg87585) found here.
Look through this information and if you still need help we can/will be able to help you out.
Sorry to say this, but that trucks sounds like it needs a lot of wiring done to it.

Considering the & is above the 7 I assume && was meant to be 77. Happens to me all the time when I'm rushing. lol
