85 crew cab long bed project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Glow plug button is in imperfectly.

Using a brass bolt to move the panel toward the driver had unanticipated consequence for the light switch. Now will have to exend the switch, widen the light switch hole, or simply get a shorter glow plug button the back end of which does not extend far enough back to contect the metal.

Have now gone through almost all wiring and think I can find most things if necessary.

Only remaining area is connecting the fuel tank to the fuel gauge. So tomorrow, weather and responsibilities permitting, it will be raise one side of the bed and drop the tank day.
