The actual wiring of the truck was one of the easiest thing I have done on it, my 2 p, cheers.
Be aware some fittings need to be Grade 8 hardened steel, the yellowy looking stuff with the "8" printed on the bolt head. Stainless is fine for floors and things like that, but make sure to replace hardened fasteners with new hardened ones. Some anti seize paste will help if you ever need to get them apart again. (You'll have that silvery stuff everywhere during the process.)
Clutch and throw out bearing while you have the transmission out? It will never be easier. Stainless steel bleeder screws for clutch and brake wheel cylinders? Stainless flex hoses for the brake lines?
Good luck with your project.

I like it because I understand how it works (mostly).
