Still wondering about the wires that went from the alternators to the ICE

Oh, that's weird. When called to check prices and availability, local parts store wanted $60 for doghead relays and they had to order it. So went ahead and bought two of those for what thought was about the same price.

To clarify, will be adding second fuse panel, wired direct to power, triggered by relay. Just want to re-wire a few things in the factory fuse block to clean up the wiring for this custom application.

Harness connections are mostly made with wire nuts right now, so can verify everything is working right before making real connections. But would like to replace some of the lugs and fuse holders at the fuse block. Need to add a few circuits, re-route some wires, etc. Having a hard time figuring...

Read a bit about fusible links, and some talk about replacing them with circuit breakers. Would like to do that, has anybody figured out appropriate sizes?

Made custom mounts for the cab and radiator grill shell. 100% bolt-on, fits great, and clears 37's without any lift.

Posted tons of pictures in the first link to the build thread on pirate4x4, but they blocked those links for some reason. Sucks, and this site won't let me upload pics from my phone. Sorry.

Adapting a 1966 Chevy cab to an M1031 chassis. Retaining 24V system, using the 1966 wiring harness for cab controls and instruments, and CUCV chassis/engine harness. Working on splicing the two harnesses together now, making some changes/upgrades at the same time. Slow going, but is coming...
