Even if I spend $500 for another Painless or AAW harness, I'll still have to adapt it, so I'm not sure what the extra $400 gets me? Just curious what you guys are doing nowadays with modern drivetrains and your chassis harnesses. Thanks.

Holy 4 year old thread bump. If you wanted to "graft" new wires into your old harness then yes I suppose a universal harness and fuse box would work. But why go through the trouble introducing new splices and using 50+ year old wiring and connectors? The idea of putting a whole new chassis harness in is to have your chassis wiring as modern and updated as your drivetrain harness. If you're happy with how your chassis harness is performing then just leave it alone.

So since this Thread has already been bumped . Im getting started on my 72 C10 LT1 Gen V Swap.. Just picked up a 23 LT1 w/ 10L80. I originally I had a 96 Lt1 with a 4l60E in this truck and had it running good. I cut and splice on the factor C10 harness and the 96 wiring and ecm myself. But tore it down in 2007 to bag it, paint the frame and its been sitting ever since..

So 17+ years later going to start back up .. Anyway looking at a painless 10206 Chassis Harness and from there I'm not certain yet.. I have purchased a bunch of parts for the build.. Wilwood Big Brake Front and rear discs brakes, Aluminum Radiator, new front belt kit with PS pump, and new rear fuel cell.. I have the intact factory LT1 harness/ECM/TCM thinking maybe Swaptime to have the harness modded for my truck.. Anyone have any experience with them or any other suggestions? Thanks!!
