Well actually, let me add up all the receipts, , may have been cheaper to buy a new truck. I am going to give this some serious thought. Whats the worst that can happen? I burn up a switch or a power mirror. It will be used parts form the salvage yard anyway, no big loss.
Right now I have Spal power windows I need to install and then an overhead console. I'm doing the same thing with mine, I just started with the system first and then doing the rest from there

Just an update on this topic, I am gathering parts and supplies to attempt this project. Was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy multiple colors of 14 guage wire so that I can start making the harnesses. I got a mirror, a switch with harness, the wiring diagrams. I just need to find all the correct colors of wire to make everything match the factory wiring colors.
