    Geoff,the top post that is white in color goes to the engine block then to the frame.The red wire goes directly to the frame.l’m thinking this may be the hot wire?

    Looking at pic 1,the 3 circuit breakers on the right are dead all the time even know the heater does work.There’s no hot next 7 breakers are always hot key on or off.What is making them hot them hot is the third wire to the left,disconnect this wire and they go dead.I thought the power goes from batteries to starter,then key switch.The only thing that should be hot all the time is the breaker for the flashers and maybe the cable dome light. Picture 2 of the alternator you can see the 2 wires coming off the alternator are both ground wires,I’m thinking the little black plug you see should be the hot wire leading back to the batteries.

    Two separate post.One is a ground to the frame,the other is a ground going to engine block then to frame.I checked the circuit breakers and the 7 in the middle are hot on both sides,with the key off.I throught the power went from the accessory relay to the breakers,mine is the opposite.

    Looking for a wire chart for my 1979 r model.The alternator is not charging the battery.There is just 2 wires coming out of it.One is a ground wire going to the engine block,the other one is another one going to the frame as a ground.There’s no hot wire going back to the starter to charge the batteries.

    It been awhile since I’ve posted about any progress I have made on the truck.I have all the tires mounted and on the truck.I went with gray wheels,they really break up all the red.Am sandblasting the fuel tanks and front bumper then I will mount them.Just waiting for the body guy to call so I can get the cab and fenders,hood to him.Will get some pictures of the wheels tomorrow and post them.

    Can someone post a picture of how the front end on a b61 goes together.I’m trying to build my son a desk for his office using the grill,shutters,headlight panels and fenders.Picture from the parts book would be fine. Tks.

    Have a question for the experts.When I towed the truck to the painter I pulled the right rear axle to keep the drive shaft from spinning,when I pulled the axle cap no oil came out.The bearing was packed in grease,as you can see in the picture.I pulled the plug on the rear to check Level of oil and oil came out,so the rear has plenty of oil.My question is shouldn’t the oil be running out to the bearings at the other end of axle?Or is the bearings fine being packed in grease.

    I know it’s been awhile,but I have made some progress.The tire guy finally made it and got all the tires mounted and rims all painted.I will probably pull it out in the sunshine (hopefully ) tomorrow and take a picture of it.My next task will be to get the fuel tanks,bumper,air tanks,battery boxes all sandblasted and painted.Still waiting for the body guy to tell me to bring him the cab and fenders.

    Keep up the good work,I’m doing my B87.Concerning the wires I believe the wiring diagram is on this site,if not let me know I have a blower up of it and I can send it to you.

    Thank god for those hydraulic bead breakers.Would have never got those tires off the rims if not for the hydraulic bead breaker.Now I’m looking for some tires,I could use 2 steers like now.I can wait for the rear tires till the truck is finished,the steers are shot.Anyone out there got some or a outlet for them.Mine are tube types.
  22. hicrop10
    Tks, that’s what I throught just wanted to be sure.
  23. hicrop10
    I will be placing the transmissions back in my b87 and was wondering what oil I should put in them and the rears?
  24. hicrop10
    My next step will be to disassemble the rims from the tires.Then I will sandblast them and paint then reassemble.
  25. hicrop10
    Finally got it back from the paint shop.I think it looks great,now the fun starts.
