Ok.

The pictures are what I have for a hotwire on this truck until I can find a correct column.

The yellow is the starter
The red is the battery
The pink is the coil
the blue is the alternator

So I believe the pink(coil) and blue(alternator) go together on the new switch at the IGN stud.
The battery(red) goes to BAT
The yellow(starter) goes to ST

This leaves a heavier black with red stripe
a black that is medium heavy
a black that is small gauge

Where do these three blacks go?  Anyone?

I know it's not an ebody so bare with me please.

So the larger black with red stripe is the heater and goes to the IGN
The medium black wire is the radio and goes to the ACC

The black small one, don't know.  When I am in the IGN on position, I touch the small black wire to the STarter
bolt and the starter turns.

Any clues as to what that one small black wire is?

I also got a red Brake light in the instrument display when I touched the small black wire to the BAT terminal.

So, that would be my lights maybe for the instrument cluster?
Would that need to be ACC or IGN. 

OR are the lights for the instrument cluster only controlled by the pull knob on the dash?

It did shed a little light.  But picture did not show where that one 18 gauge Black wire goes.

Thanks,  I was wondering if I would get one reply.
