I like seeing your bulkhead connection, it looks so clean. You bought the full OEM c10 harness from American Autowire right? I am still contemplating my move on this. I am thinking about keeping my cheaper wire harness(AA), sanding down and welding in a patch for the square bulkhead hole, and trying my hand at painting/blending... But this is a lot of work and it will mess up my lizard skin on the inner firewall a little bit.... Ugh. But now seeing your firewall, I feel like spending the extra $300 just to make it easier on me...

And it never gets old seeing that blue man Keep up the good work!
Thanks man.

I bought the Classic Update kit from them. So it has a few circuits for modern updates like power seats, power windows, power locks, and a couple others. I don't know what your harness is like, but having a harness made for your truck is easier for sure. How much easier? I don't know. But the classic update kit has a really nice main power harness and everything is about the right length or too long, so you don't end up short anywhere. It also has the correct connectors for things like the steering column, wiper motor, instrument cluster, lighting, etc.

The kit was $539, but prices may have just gone up. Have you already opened yours or is it eligible for return?
