New M880 Old Wiring Problems-Assistance please

[78dodgeowner]

Thanks again for all of the help everyone. The truck is all up to par now. It didn't even need a transmission, it was just low on fluild, how funny is that?

Sounds like your luck after all....

I did get very very lucky. The cab on it is in fantastic shape, except for one small hole in the roof for wiring for the lightbar on top (VFD truck) but the light bar is still there, so the hole doesn't leak. I bought the truck just for the cab in all honesty, so everything else working just turned out to be a bonus. It may not get parted after all. Even if it does, it will remain in one piece until that time comes. It really proved itself after this last storm we had in Southern WV.

I've found this helpful on most 60 70 era dodges. Catalog
It is the next project on my m882.

Thanks torger. I found that write-up some time ago, then "lost" it. I really appreciate you bringing it to light again. Hopefully others will see it and be helped too. I am currently one of those "weak bypassers" with the machine screw and tape haha.

just a thought does the truck have a on off switch or a key if its on off switch check lead to that it happened on my m 37 and lost all power to dash and starter switch
