Restarting My Old 86 B2000
 
Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum but not new to other forums or driveway mechanics. I have a 86 B2000 LX truck that I bought new but it has been retired for over ten years. I'm looking to fire it back up. What I need right now is a photo or drawing of the battery connections. My battery was cut out and stolen so now there are only the positive cable stub and another smaller cable running to a relay or fuse box on the left.
Question- How should this be hooked up/ replacement cable(s) part numbers?
And if anybody knows the size of the balancer/crankshaft bolt to turn the motor over that would be helpful too.
Thanks.

Thank you that is helpful. At least I know I'm looking for a 2 lead positive cable. Anyone know the cranshaft bolt size? I dont have all of my tools with me so I can't just try them until they fit. I'll need to pick up a deep socket for it.

I was able to turn it over with a 7/8" socket.
