I also used butt connectors in a few spots and will be replacing those with the solder type water seal connectors.
So far it has been good with no issues, drives very well. But I dont want the electrical issues down the road from using standard butt connectors.
Once I get ac/heat going I will go start slowly going through and taking care of the wiring
Should have done it correctly from the start but I had never undertaken anything like this.

wiring is a PITA but it's better to take your time and make sure it's correct to prevent a major disaster...
I used butt connectors only on the power window connections to the motors.
Even there I used the adhesive type heat shrink tubing over them to seal them against corrosion.
I bought several of the Packard 56 connectors that were originally used on these trucks for nearly all the connections inside.
Under the hood, I used the weather pack connectors
