Ken T. Being as this is a fire truck/engine, the wiring will be different than that for cars and regular trucks. Some things I noted on the electrical schematic you posted, is that it shows Neg. ground, and no senders/wiring for the oil and temp gauges, As it was a firetruck/engine, there may not have been a key lock for the ignition, as you wouldn't want to be searching for an ignition key that someone put in their pocket, while your neighbors house is on fire. That may be the reason there is only a toggle switch, although someone may have put a key switch in at some time. The start button is standard for the era, it connects the small terminal on the starter solenoid to ground, which activates the solenoid.
