Wobbeling first steps

[rdporterjr]

I talked my wife into letting me buy my dream truck, a '69 Chevy short bed step side. The guy I bought it from said it just needed an alternator and it would be good to go. So I bought it "AS IS". Wrong answer. So here it goes.

The alternator didn't do it. I found out that the wiring was toast. So I got another wiring harness from the Pull A Part. It had it's problems but I was able to replace the bad wires with out a problem. I then installed it.

The starter was toast too. I got another and was having problems connecting the wiring cause the new harness seemed to have an extra wire. I think I got that figured out. Thanks to pjmoreland and his answer http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=182535

BUT! it's still a NO-GO. So I'm needing help with getting this thing started. What else should I look for?

Specs:
Block numbers say its a '58 283 w/ points style distributer. Considering a swap.
