SO a short story first:
A few years back my Dad bought an old '77 Datsun 620. it was a really reliable truck that My dad loved to drive. Cops would pull him over just to ask about it. People would follow him to the store just to ask him about it.
Then something went wrong, the truck wouldn't start anymore, and so he parked it in the backyard where it sits now and began to collect dust. Last year, he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and past. He went inaudible in onle few months before he could tell me what was wrong with the truck, even though he new. My dad had restored a few vehicles by himself when I was younger.
My Mother recently said i could have the truck to sell or restore it if I wanted to. Unfortunately, I'm a computer nerd, and have never taken on anything of this magnitude without help from my dad.

So I bought the Haynes tech manual thinking im smart and can figure this out. Wow, my head exploded, so with all my reading and research Im plugging along but still need some experienced help.
I found the alternator yesterday which is a victory in my book.
I replaced the battery, and the truck just lurches, will add video to show you what is actually happening.
I turned the alternator with my hand last night, and noticed the belt doesnt turn with it, just the pulley.
I figured, with the lurching, it might be a starter issue based of my minimal knowledge.
I also noticed there have been a few electric issues previously, exposed wire in the engine area, burnt connection of the fuse box

I'll post more pictures as i get the area cleaned up around the truck.
ANY help you folks would have would be greatly appreciated.
