77 f100 wiring issues

I am working on a 77 f-100, swapped the body on a 4x4 frame. I cannot get any power to the fuse box except for the lights. Also no power to the ignition switch except for one wire that does not seem to do anything. This problem is driving me nuts, I cannot find a wiring diagram with all the parts on it to go off of. My chilton and haynes manual does not have the right diagram, and the shop manual does not have a complete wiring diagram. Does anyone know where I can get one, or have a clue for this problem. It's a 77 f100 ranger with a/c. Thanks for any help.

Complete wiring diagrams should be available on ebay. I bought complete a complete set of 76 build manuals there. Was the truck running until recently? If so, sounds like ground problems to me.

I bought it 5 or so years ago for the body, had to be jumped from the starter solonoid then, so it's an old problem. I looked on ebay with no luck. All the grounds are good, and the lights work, just nothing else works.

Check the fusible links for any breaks?
