Re: Slowly I build a truck
I went with Painless wiring harness from Summit Racing. It was $287 after $100 rebate. I wasn't prepared for having to cut the firewall, but it was pretty easy with a dremel tool.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Sorting the wires was kind of fun. It made me feel like I'm actually going to have a truck!

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Thanks guys. I covered the speakers partly to prevent dust, but mostly because the old one was covered, and if someone looks through the grate I want it to look as original as possible. I realize I've already stepped away from original, but that's the thought process.

Glove box and light. That was hard. It's a good thing it will be mostly hidden.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
Your build is coming along great. If this is a slow build I cannot think of what to call mine. I took three years from the purchase to getting it up and driving again. Keep up the good work.

Re: Slowly I build a truck
New Shifter - I had to use a dremel tool to shave the ball on the end down a bit for it to fit. The painless wiring kit makes you re-use the original half moon connector. I never could make the old terminals release with a paper clip or small screwdriver, so I just pulled them through with needle nose pliers.
