Could it have been the hidden, evil fuse holder under the cowl vent/behind the heater? It's red/green-related to the hazards

I will look more closely at it when it isn't a bazillion degrees out

We had like 8 inches of rain in 2 hours today, so I was able to get out to the barn to look at the rig.
Looks like both the starter and ignition wiring is fried.
Going to peel back the loom to make sure I have all the damage and just put in new wiring. As much as I hate wiring, this truck has forced me to step outside my comfort zone.

Prepare for the worst Drew. That wire is in the core of the main trunk.
Honestly, you will be far less frustrated in the long run if you unplug all the switches, detach the cowl vent mechanism, and drop out the loom for repairs on a sheet of plywood.

Yeah.... That's kinda what I was thinking
I may have a ‘69 loom on the shelf if needed.

First, my original loom was a hacked up POS. I got it to work as good as I could, but since I've had it, the starter would bump when I cycled the key from on to off when the engine wasn't running.
This should've been my first clue
