2/16/19: Today I noticed the following:
* The parking lights are not hooked up
* The wiring going to the tail lights although updated, the connections look questionable
* The passenger side headlight is not hooked up
* The brake light switch is sticking and the brake pedal is not retracting fully leaving the switch in the on position
* A kit to install signal lights was sloppily installed with wire nuts and all of the wires are dangling under the dash.

I removed the hood latch panel and discovered none of the wires for the parking lights, right side head light and horn were connected nor were the ends taped to prevent shorts. Basically the old wiring is disintegrating and any of the repairs or additions were not done correctly.

The installation of a new wiring harness is required. I plan on doing this after the truck is painted during the reassembly. In the meantime, the wiring needs to be identified and restored to a safe condition prior to me even thinking of firing this old gal up.
