Are you looking to re-wire your 73-87 truck?

Hey guys/gals, if anybody is taking on a wiring project and need some help with harnesses or with custom, late model integrations to a factory harness, drop me a line and let me know what I can help you with! I don't just sell, I also design and install everything I offer also! If you've got specific questions, I can answer them without "passing the word" along to somebody else who may/may not know. I'm going to be making a leap soon into other areas so I'm hoping to firmly establish a foundation with the 73-87 crowd!

Thanks for your support so far!

Re: Are you looking to re-wire your 73-87 truck?

I'm about to take on an LS swap into an 84' SWB and would like to re-wire the old harness while adding the LS.
Questions:
1. Most efficient way to combine the two mitigating the need for multiple holes through firewall
2. OEM ECM vs. the new MSD set up
3. Problems associated with connecting the newer style gauges
4. Is this something that you can do if the OEM harness was sent to you?

I've got some LS specific harness plans on the drawing board so to speak-right now actively searching for a crew cab to begin the test build using them.

Do you have a website or anything so we can take a look at your harnesses? I'm debating replacing the rest of the wiring when I do the LS swap on my '89 K5 since I'll be getting a new engine/trans harness. So far all I've been able to find is the Painless kit but they're pricey and still require a good bit of work to install...

I haven't had the time lately to work on my catalog....I'm currently expanding into other areas of these trucks so a lot of time is spent tracking down parts/supplies. And this is aside from my current harness orders as well as NOS/used parts I list whenever time allows lol.
