Last Friday night, David (88GMCtruck, around the internet) and I dissected a GMT400 cross body harness. Instead of swapping the harnesses directly, we decided it would be easier to build a mirror harness (since it requires additional wires anyway) and just splice it in with the existing truck's harness. We also pre-built some additional harnesses for the overhead console, autodim mirror, compass/temp, and steering wheel audio controls. Here is the pictures of that sticky tape and wire mess.

After getting down to Dayton, we tore into the truck. An hour later David and I created this:

Installing the mirror harness

And the mirrors

Leftovers from the westcoasters. Does not want.

Getting the stereo plug wired up, as well as the audio controls and overhead compass/temp unit, and putting the dash back together.
