You could also use some masking tape to tape each of the wires with a tag saying where it hooks to. So you don't forget later.

My plans:
Swap cab with a rust free cab I already bought. Figure up how much it will cost me to fix my original bed OR find a better SWB bed OR Swap a '94 step bed that I already found This all depends on the $$ it will take to get mine back in good shape. If I go with the late model bed, the side trim will come off (of course). A 5/6 or 4/6 drop from ECE with 20" Torq Thrust II's or 18/20 combo. Hopefully an LS1 for motivation and spray the whole thing with Sunset Orange Metallic. If I can save my fleet bed (preferrable) it will be painted either silver with white inserts or sunset orange with black inserts. That's pretty much it. I'm hoping for an 18 month turnaround, but I know how things go. I already have another car to show (my GN) so I'm not in too big a hurry.
