Although the relay is involved, you need to revisit the diagnosis.
My concern is that having 12+ on the plug and 10+ at the battery says you are

removing the fuse from the glowplug
Jaime is just trying to be more like me. First he moves to the country (I
think), then he needs a lawn tractor. Now he wants a pickup. Next thing you
know he will have 80 junk cars in his back yard.

What I meant was, interrupting the connection at the fuse. Using the relay
to act like someone removing the fuse after starting. That avoids all the
heavy gauge wiring. Isn't this a possible kludge?

If I were in your boat a 350 Chevy is exactly what I would get. That suburban
toad had for a long time then I had travelled all over the country hauling
cars, it had about 260k and did not use a drop of oil.

The heavy wiring is only 10ga. The wiring into the car is quite small, it
just has to actuate the relay.

That's easy. Pour money into it. It's only about 40 miles from me. I want
a 198 but I want the m110 engine.

He could whack the back off of a big V-8 Mercedes and mount a pickup body on
it. Continental Imports in Gainesville, Florida did one that way. It
looked pretty nice.
I seem to remember Steve or Walter saying they had to reinforce the unibody,
however.

i like 108s. they are pretty rust prone, as are most cars of the era (in
fact, probably much better than average for the era but atrocious by modern
standards). also, it's got an old lube it up kingpin front end but few
today get what that means, so unless the front end has been rebuilt in
