Wiring & 1/4 window question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New to the Burb and the one I picked up ('72) has a few issues. I've always loved these monsters & the wife isn't real happy I got it so getting it road worthy QUICK is important.

The wire harness in this thing has cuts & splices all over it (motor, dash, tail). Only 1 headlight works at present & nothing else on the exterior. So, do the Burbs use a taillight harness from the long bed trucks OR is there a better way (tail harness is the worst butcher job). Figured I'd start with tail/brake/backup lights & work my way forward.

It's also missing the drivers 1/4 window in the 4th dr panel. How do you replace that window?

I want this to be my daily driver while I work on my 68 truck so any suggestions from you pros would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!

the tail light harness is burb specific since it is longer, going up into the roof and back down instead of going under the truck.
I suspect that not-a-door window will be a total b!tch to replace... i hope someone has some advise.
