Re: How does a 76 C10 get its main power feed

Assuming it is wired per factory specs, the headlights should work without the key. Start with the simple things first. Batt ground should go to the alternator bracket and a ground strap from the passenger side back valve cover bolt to the cab(the strap is often missing). Possible the batt cables are rotted on the inside.

There should be a batt terminal in the cab fuse box that is hot all the time. Once you get power there, testing should go pretty fast.
