I do not plan on installed a .mil radio.
I would like to install a few 12v item on the rack.
I have looked in the TM's for info on the power cable and how it is wired
into the truck. I would like to rewire it for 12vdc only.
Can someone point me in the right direction on doing this?
Auto Zone had the relays out near the "urban" lighting area. They were $4.99 each.
As for the starter relay, dont fool with it. I took mine out and put a 60A starter switch ($10 @ auto zone) in. I drilled a hole with a step drill next to the voltmeter.
Turn key to on position, press button.
The problem is there are no holes on the back side of the axle to loosen the brakes up. After a night of letting PB do its work, they both come off with a few
firm whacks of a hammer.
Now I'm about 1/3 of the way into the job. Going back out to pull the c clamp that holds the axle.

Check for voltage at pink lead on fuel injector pump fuel shutoff solenoid while

I cant get the charging system to work properly.
Last night I found someone removed the bosch relays under the dash, so I replaced them.
I saw the diagram with them listed, I was just wondering about the physical location under the hood.

Looks like it had no rear window also. Would be covered with canvas with a plastic window. Troop seats in it also.
Pretty slick looking setup if you ask me...
If you have never watch it, and you are into TEOTW type stuff, its pretty good.
It had a very unusual rack/roll bar setup on it.
It also had a open roof that was covered with canvas.
