Gmc684 - I’ve considered the whole harness approach and may decide to do that. The only thing that held me back on this truck is the magnitude of the task given the extreme amount of meddling literally everywhere, under the dash, engine compartment, etc. I’ve done a number of harnesses and the jobs that went smoothly (though not easily) were cases of replacing worn out original stuff. This truck was worked on numerous times by Los Angeles area gas stations starting in 1972 - I have every receipt. So I know what would lie ahead. When I finish up my 58 Buick Roadmaster, I might gulp and tackle the Sierra Grande.

Meantime I just want it running so I can move it around my property and keep it on the road. Thanks for the wise input.
