Good morning,

Can you be more specific on what you think the issue is?

Is there no power in the truck?

Does it not have spark?

Please give me as much information as you can.

Okay, I attached a wiring diagram of the ignition switch. You need the white/light blue wire need to go to the positive side of the coil for powering the ignition.

Then at the solenoid on the fender, you can cross the battery hot wire from the battery positive to the little terminal to activate the starter.

That will get it running.
