Some Glam shots to help this sell.... 😆 I've had tons of fun with it...and there is more fun to be had!!!

yup, draggin' this out of the morass. floor patching turned out to be more than what i first thought. drivers side needed base of A pillar rebuilt before floor could be patched. passenger side had a void i totally missed when doing the rocker...

I just checked and having a silver membership does not add the tool bar. It should be standard ... here are the silver membership advantages The coveted 'Silver Star' or 'Gold Star' banner Max 10 attachments per post Single Desktop banner...

Welcome! The single best advice for you is to go to the Resources button in the tool bar at the top of the page and download Factory Service Manuals. I keep this in a folder on my computer and they have been invaluable. click on it Resources...

I used a pneumatic die grinder with a thin scotch brite pad. First double tape the paint on either side of the gutter to minimize any chance of scuffing the paint if your tool gets outside the margins. wear a mask or respirator as this method...

Just roll with it man. We're middle aged, we can take it 🤣

I must be trending.

I admire your mental fortitude and ability to push forward even though you have had more problems than most. Carry on!

Success! Removed the relay all together and reconnected the black/red to the starter solenoid. Fired right up. Still not really sure why it was in there in the first place, but this chapter is closed. Pretty embarrassed I fell into the parts...

Does the b/w wire or b/r wire from the ignition go to the relay. If so, does it have 12 v there at the relay when you turn the key? if so, yes I would bypass the relay and see if that gets current to the starter solenoid

shouldn't need a relay to a starter solenoid. It is just a trigger wire that needs 12v and little amps. Does the red wire at the solenoid go to the relay?

If no current there, then probe the red wire where it is crimped to the b/r wire ...and keep working your way back to the ignition

this is the short b/r wire going to the starter solenoid in your last image the one that is attached to the red wire. do what is suggested ... while in park, have someone turn the key with you under the rig and see if this wire terminal gets 12v.

you're ^^^ just quoting my post but I don't see any reply you may have added.

did you mean you started tracking the power from the ignition switch to the starter? If you have power at the ignition switch then it's coming from the battery no need to track it back to the battery. You should be tracking it to the starter...

I mostly disagree!! Young guys wired with a growth mindset like me need something difficult to see through to the end. it's really toughened me up. I just got a heavier dose with a quirky 60 and tough circumstacnes.... Deeply insightful journey...

check to see if the ign has a hot wire. put your black lead to ground and red lead on the thick wire coming into the back of the ign. I think there is a ignition fuse??? Basically chase the current from the battery to the ign. Also is the...

try not to randomly replace parts to fix an issue. test, verify its bad, then replace. Also it pays to hold onto old parts. Many times I have found out the hard way that aftermarket parts are inferior and I would have been better off holding...

If you are going to take your manifolds apart, check out this thread. esp pages 7-9. Lots of good info and things to consider. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/can-we-make-a-exhaust-intake-manifold-sticky.225487/

Clean up your wire terminals where they attach to the starter solenoid and the clean the solenoid ground where it attaches to the frame. Unbolt it and clean the frame metal and the terminal end.
