I dropped the engine in about two weeks ago and was waiting on a new flywheel to come in. I almost half assed it with a used flywheel and a new-ish clutch but decided to just pony up and replace the flywheel... it was $47 shipped versus $40 to have the old one turned, and it needed to be turned for sure.
I spent a day over Christmas break and most of today working on wiring - I haven't found a set of crank window, manual lock doors to donate parts so I decided to make the power windows and locks work for now. It was really pretty easy - there's a section of the original 1988 headlight harness that plugs into two big plugs that come in from each fender. I cut out all the headlight, marker light and horn stuff from that and found that if I connect the lock relays to power and splice one other wire to ignition hot, both the PW and PL work perfectly. Most of my time today was spent repairing pins in those two big plugs that had corroded off. I also cut all the loom and tape off the trans harness, engine harness, and parts of the power distribution harness and retaped & put new loom on them. The wiring is in good shape for the most part but the loom was just crumbling off - it needed to be done.
I still have a few things to button up on the wiring under the hood but I should be stabbing the trans and t-case back into the truck fairly soon after that. There are a lot of very tedious, time consuming things to do and I'm trying to focus on finishing certain areas of the truck before moving on to others... I know I'm gonna end up with a bolt I forgot to tighten somewhere.
