Not many used parts left in the bucket, but I have 6 new brackets (3rd run ALL SOLD NOW) that are painted and threaded M10-1.5. The 2nd pulley hole can be drilled & tapped for another size.

Yes, she's gone - gone - gone... I finally found someone who appreciates the mechanical soundness of this truck, despite its cosmetic flaws. It just needed a few ounces of refrigerant.

This is as much mess as I made. It was a very quick, easy, clean job.

The solar panel in the door pocket goes on the dash when I leave the truck parked for days or weeks.

I used the pick again to set the shifter boot back onto the column shroud as I put the lower shroud into place. I put some red threadlocker on the tube for the upper shroud's L screw so maybe it won't come apart next time.

That colorful wiring snak...

The new switch went right back in, and I reconnected it for testing before finishing the installation up here. It worked fine, so I put the rest of the dash back together. The pick was used to lift the steering wheel lip over the upper shroud lip.

With just a little finageling, the big connectors came out of the dash. This might be 20 minutes of work, but I took longer because I was learning, trying various tools, and taking pictures.

Up here, I pulled the cluster bezel off (releasing the cargo lamp switch plate, headlight switch connector, & other switches) to make room for the column shroud. Two T25 screws released the lower half (the pick released the tilt lever clip), and I u...

This suggests that the alternators are wired in simple parallel, on all terminals, but I'm not sure about the way it shows the output cables BOTH going to the LEFT battery. The single (RIGHT) alternator is actually wired to a fusible link going to t...

I cleaned all 5 less than a year ago, but I didn't apply any grease. It has been cranking a little more slowly lately, so while working on other projects, I pulled the L battery and found this.

While working on the terminals, I put the battery on t...
