I think you had it wired through your switch somehow. Thats the right way anyway, that way noone can go screwing with your starter while there is no key in. OH, put a good size fuse on both ends and youll save yourself a lot of burnt switches, wires, etc.
good luck

Thats a pretty common fix on 80's trucks, I've had to do that to 2.
One switch wire should go to the starter solenoid and the other to 12V.

I have had a push button start for years in my Zuk. Works like a charm.
