I know nothing about wiring and even ordering the harness for my 71 Jimmy scared me to death. So many choices and component parts, all of them foreign to me. I ended up buying a Painless harness through Summit which I think was around $500. Turns out it didn't have AC or taillight sub-harnesses on it which I had to purchase at additional cost, and the fuse block was larger than the original factory size which required firewall modification. That being said, the guys who put it in for me found that everything else was present and installed fine.
