I tell them, the wiring harness doesnt care what truck its in, donor or recipient, as long as everything is plugged in, it will start!
looking great, keep it up!

To be fair, I have an aftermarket harness kit that I bought from Ron Francis 20 years ago, before this became a chassis swap project, since the 1957 had no original wiring left in it. I can see where guys do like the plug-n-play aspects of an aftermarket harness kit, not to mention some are built to be chassis specific, which offers a clean appearance. In my case, there is only one, maybe two vendors that offer a stand alone engine management system, using my supplied OEM harness and $750 from my pocket. I can read a schematic, so there isn't any reason for me to pay someone else $750 for something I can do myself.
