I got a 83 2500 4wd 6.2 diesel that I am restoring. Haven't gotten that far but am keeping basically keeping the frame and drivetrain of this truck and changing all the body on it. Before I tore it down, it plowed snow for me for 3 years. My question is this: when I bought the truck the glow plug relay was not controled by the key switch. Someone had wired the glow plugs on a separate switch. I enjoyed this arrangement and it always worked. Then I ripped the cab off. I see no wires on the outside of the cab for the switch so I assumed the job was done in the inside of the vehicle. After a quick look today I couldn't really tell where the wire went. I am not saying I cannot find it, I just can't find it easily. The new cab I am using will be from a non-diesel but with very clean interior wiring, no taps, no jumpers,etc. I would just like to use my interior wiring and plug into the diesel's external wiring(yet to be restored). So my ideal solution would be to install a push button or similar switch to run the plugs. Wiring diagrams,explanations, I know it's probably all on this sight but I've done a few searchs and a little nudge in the right direction would help. Thanks.
