Thanks dave, that's exactly what I needed! And the truck is now charging as it should. I looked at the old plug and the green/red wire was going into the S terminal so I'm not sure if my old voltage regulator was different internally or what but all that matters is the truck is up and running. Thanks guys for the tips on checking the voltage regulator, considering I didn't know what it was I wouldn't have ever guessed that was what was wrong. And I got my headlights working again, that's always a plus! Thanks for all the help guys!

If you went to Autozone, the floor dimmer switch cost about the same as a single pole double throw switch to get the low and high beam lights working.

I had a single pole double throw switch left over from a failed project that I reused, I wish I would have just replaced the floor switch as it took awhile to get the toggle swich mounted where I wanted it in the dash and it would have been much quicker to just replace the floor switch, oh well lesson learned.
