My 82 diesel has similar  starting  issues,I turn the key and hear a light
click in the rear sometimes it'll turn over and others it'll take a few
clicks! Had the starter rebuilt last year due to slow rpm and heavy amp
draw making the cable get really hot!! My question is the starter relay
integrated with the glow plug relay?

A new switch is cheap and you can connect it to the wiring without even
installing it. Use a flat screwdriver to operate it. If this fixes your
troubles, install it properly. If it doesn't help, then install a
starter relay in the engine compartment. I like the relay setup that Jay
sells.
