ya, thats how i have it wired right now, hotwired, the fuel pump i mean. it works fine, we drove it 300 miles today that way. also, the tail lights work fine, i think a wire just got cut when it was being broken into and tore all up. there are only a few things inside that are not right, and after than i think that i can get it to work just right. instead of putting a new key and ignition in it, im thinking about using a proximity signal and push button start. its a little box that you carry on your key chain, much like a remote locks type thing. when you get within a cirtian distance of the pickup it will arm the ignition allowing you to turn on the ignition, and then hit the starter button. if you are out of range then when you go to turn on the ignition nothing will happen, and you wont be able to start the truck. if that doesnt work then ill just put in a nascar type of push button start and not worry about a key.
also, what do you all think i should do? try and fix all the messed up steering column wires and find new plastic, and fix all that, or just go and buy a steering column with everything and just unplug, and unbolt the old one and replace it with another one?
