Welcome to the forum

Looks like you've got a good truck to build up. I agree, I'd keep that trans, that just adds to the fun factor IMO.

For patch panels, I would try a couple of our board vendors here like MBGMike, and Topbanana. You can find them in the classifieds here on the forums. There is also a Vendors Marketplace in the classifieds. If you decide you want power steering and power brakes, let me know, I have brackets for those.

Its the later Jeel Grand Cherokees, grab a set of rear door check straps from a standard Cherokee when you are there, they fit our trucks perfect, I used a tailgate latch assy from a late 90s S10, I can show you how to do it if you want, I have lots of pics of it
