Does your instrument cluster have full gauges or warning lights?

Painless is the only one that is the most complete but you still have to use a few connectors from the old harness, it is not cheep... http://www.painlesswiring.com/

others have used an EZ wiring kit and the wire diagrams here on the site and rewired there trucks. http://www.ezwiring.com/

I've got an alternator harness for a 71 with full gauges if you need it.

I've got one here from a 79, and the plugs are all wrong where the harness connects to the plugs at the firewall.
