Sorry for some of the hijacking but I hope your questions have been answered. If not let me know. Their are a half dozen solutions, the trick is knowing how you will be using your truck as to whether stock wiring harnesses will work or if your needs require a more custom approach

No problem about the hijacking.

The truck will be mostly stock as far as accesories are concerned; I don't plan on power windows, locks, or anything such as that. All I plan on doing is making everything old, new again.

Any suggestions? Also, I'm not sure if I'm going to do it all at one time or do the different harnesses at different times. Is there an advantage to doing one or the other?

If you are retaining all the stock stuff and not adding a bunch of aftermarket stuff, AAW's factory fit harnesses are great one piece at a time or all at once. The dash harness is $309 and you can build from there. GM connectors are used in these harnesses if they are still available. It will cost a little more than a good aftermarket harness, but this way everything is new just like it left the factory.

How does it compare to the M&H which is also just like stock?

After careful research, I think they are the same product, same part number, same catalog price. I have an email in to AAW to see who is actually making the harnesses.

Just talked to AAW, evidently years ago M&H and AAW did a lot of product development together years ago so many of the products are the same and are nearly identical in pricing. Each company builds their own harnesses, The difference if their is any is in the customer service.

Somehow I missed this post, this is what is in "GQ" and it's so factory
looking it's kinda scary, right down to the connectors like Paul said
