I'm swapping frames on my '86 K10 4.3L with one from an '82 K10 6.2L Diesel.
Anything that i should look out for, that you have learned the hard way?
I feel like i should buy a new wiring harness, but is it bad to use the old one?
How difficult would it be to rewire it later on, versus when i have the cab off?
I'm trying to save money, and swapping frames, there shouldn't be too much that i need to do, right?
Just making sure i'm not missing anything...
Anyone need an '82 wiring harness?

I had a butchered diesel harness in mine. Toggle switches on the dash for ignition, lots of splices, etc. I swapped in an 84 factory gas harness. Went pretty well and I didn't see anything to be concerned with. I had to. Adapt the sender wires and repin the cluster plug, but so far it worked out well.
