Help with search for 36 pickup ig wiring

I've been looking at the same diagrams from Mac VanPelts site.

Since this is a truck and uses a foot starter switch, there is no solenoid, no dome light, no cigarette lighter. The basic wires should be the same or similar to car.

Which direction does the fuse block mount?

I went back and corrected the starter switch. Might take a look at what I updated. I really have no idea on a 36 which way the fuse panel mounts, but on all of them (other years) I have seen the ballast resistor is to the left (drivers side) and the fuse holder is to the right (passenger side). Also not sure if the truck uses the same wiring harness with the unused function not connected or if it is a different harness.

If you look at the routing diagram you can see that the fused side stud of the fuse holder is at the far right (passenger side) of the fuse panel and the dome light is connected to it, as is the wire going to the light control switch. The left side of the fuse holder has the wire going to the cigar lighter and the wire coming in from the starter switch via the ammeter. Plus the two wires going to the cutout and the ignition switch.

The ballast resistor is drawn to show the two wires (from the ignition switch and to the oil gauge) are on the far left (drivers side) of the ballast resistor. And the single wire to the coil is shown to be on the right side of the ballast resistor. So this is reversed from what I drew up. If you are going for correct it would matter, if you are going for functional it doesn't matter. The ballast resistor works the same both ways. Same goes for the fuse holder. All that matters functional is that the grouping of the wires is correct.

Again, thanks for the help!

Not going for show points, the truck is a Frankenstein with a 38 frame, 36 cab, 37 bed, and a 40 flathead... LOL.

But I'm keeping it 6v positive ground and cable brakes from the 38. If I ever get a chance to drive it I might then play around with swapping in a T5 and lowering the front and rear just a bit.

Then just get the wires grouped together correctly and your good to go.

If you want any T5 help let me know!

I only have the trans so far...out of an S10
I want to rebuild it before installing it as I don't want to go to all the trouble of installing an unknown part.

Probably a year before I get to it, by the time I finish the move to Indy and get settled in to the new house and new work environment. In the meantime I can collect parts!
