Body swamp and restobuild!

I finally started working on my 2 runners. My first one was a 84 black crapy condition body was in horn ale shape interior was almost none existent. With this being the case I decided to build it into a nice play you for the family. I tarted looking for better seats while we live in Florida and found some front seats to replaces the crappiness that was in it. Things happened and we ended up moving to Indiana and I still was determined to get it to where we could use it for hunting, fishing, camping, and play so I started my search for a rear seat. I came across a guy out of Illinois that was selling a 85 minus it's drive train for 250! So knowing the value of it I had to have it but was short some money. We discussed some trades and settlers in a laptop. So hear I am staring another big move in he face and trying to get the bodies swapped so I don't have to move with both! Now with the story out of the way I have one question at the moment. My 85 was a auto and my 84 is a manual I've removed my pedal assembly's and on the clutch there is a switch on the pedal assembly. Does that have to be plugged in to start or work properly? I really do not want to use yhe wiring out of he 84 since it's so ratty.

I think the switch is the sensor for the clutch being all the way in to start. You may have to wind up swapping harnesses if the wiring is not tucked up somewhere. :worthless
 
IT starts now with out the clutch bing pressed in and i do not see anywhere a clutch cancel button would of been. Im about to head back out there and work on it some more so ill take some pics and post them up.

Is it just me or can no one see these?

I guess that if it works fine now, then just don't worry about it. Just make sure it ain't in gear when you go to start it!
 
They didn't I'll figure it out in a minute and make them work. Only thing is I'm not sure if the guy before me did something to it to make it start like that. Well see I really would like to use the better harness
 
there we go fixed and here are two of the 93 pickup i started building years ago. I hit some road blocks and stuff and it got put on the back burner but im moving back to where its at and my oldest wants it when he turns 16 so

 
I failed at getting any pics that day and didn't get a lot of progress pictures but i got my good body on the frame i wanted to use. not to get all the wiring done and get it running again and stuff but that will not happen until after i move
