Are you making your own harness or purchasing a standalone?

If you get everything working together you can get performance like this...

Vannatta20 - what have you used for gas pedals on your C10 swaps? I've got the factory 2015 truck pedal that came with my motor but I sure don't see a very good way to mount it. Any input would be appreciated!
