Somebody else had tried to wire his truck and had thrown away all of the factory harness so we had really nothing at that point. Luckily I was working on my truck at the time so we used some of my old connectors to finish his wiring. I usually use Ron Francis wiring kits for the hot rod wiring jobs we do in the shop. The Francis' kits are also pretty generic.

I understand exactly where you're coming from-I build my harnesses as complete plug n play as close to GM as you can find. I also incorporate later model features nobody else offers. I spend a lot of time sourcing OEM/NOs obsolete terminals and connectors as well as maintain a pretty healthy inventory of electrical parts in general. Engine harnesses for example typically run $169, climate control harness (2 sections-underdash to firewall and firewall to compressor) are $139 and $39 to give you an idea.
