Will have a lot of unused stuff like A/C and Alternator wiring, and won't use the Igintion or Instrument Cluster connections. I also have an 18-circuit harness going under the dash. Trying to get my cab in primer and LizardSkin in the next couple of weeks before committing fully to the wiring.
It's crazy how much smaller the older "full size" trucks are then even a mid-sized truck today. I'm having a hard time finding space for everything.
Very cool build though. Looking like something you will really enjoy, and that's what's important. I have a racecar that seldom leaves the shop or trailer, so going into my build the plan was to put something together I could driver anywhere, anytime.

Thanks II_slow. Minimize to only what you need but make it easy access and you will be happy. For the Lizard skin. Mask any thing you don't want it on, it splatters. Also put tape on the back side of all the holes. Ya it's crazy that these full size trucks are smaller inside than an s10. Keep enjoying your build.
