Post It is alive!
About 12:45am my Bronco woke up (and probably woke my neighbors across the street, but I'm OK with that-they're kind of annoying). Thanks to some advice from Viper (Thank you again!), I was able to get the final parts of my Centech rewire finished this evening. The best part? Almost everything works, and worked the first time. The only thing I've found that is non-functional is the gas gauge, and that may be as easy and changing around the wiring to the gauge itself. I also need to replace some burnt out marker bulbs, but was able to verify that the wiring was good with a test light. The ampmeter is non-functional, but that was expected due to how my alternator is wired, and I plan to convert that over to a voltmeter. The only thing I haven't been able to verify is the charging system. If my truck dies in 10 or 15 miles, I guess I'll know where to start! Still need to get the dash bolted back into the truck and finish looming and tidying up the wiring, but the truck is officially running again, with no sign of previous owner related electrical gremlins. I'm really happy with how it came out, and am impressed with how easily the Centech kit went in overall. For anyone chasing around electrical issues, do this, its a great solution! Thanks to everyone that has read my posts bitching about the truck and has offered help both here and on classicbroncos.com. Video to follow in the next day or two...

Good to hear. I bet seeing all the broncos yesterday was good motivation.

Glad to hear the install went smooth and that everything works. As far as the neighbors, seems like every time I do an engine swap/replacement everything is ready to fire somewhere in the same time frame as yours. I just can't wait till morning, so everyone in earshot gets to share in the victory. thumbs up
