i have a 74 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 that i pulled the whole body off and put a new body on. The problem is that the cab is off a 79 and the wiring does not match up. I went and bought a engine wiring harness from the junk yard but the ends were clipped off and I can't find a wiring diagram that shows where each wire goes. Been working on the project for 7 months (due to short of money). Have everything else done just need help on the wiring.

Hello there . Well there a few differences from them. How do you want to wire your truck to the newer or to the 1973-76 style ( have Amp's gauge or amp light., not to many option . In 1977 more option started What all do you have with the 79 cab as wire fuse box gauges, cluster. option what style head light do you have . I see what I have can get set up to show you.

Do you know how to remove the ends off the wires for the motor harness . The good thing is that most of the wiring for the motor 74-79 will be the same except the some of the colors and the emission stuff that 79 has over the 74..

get a harness from painless wiring or American auto wire because since you redone the whole truck you should start out with a fresh harness

Well the 79 cab has a wire harness and it seems ok. the gauges are speed ,fuel ,oil , temp ,amp and clock. Head lights and front clip from a 81 sub ( got it for 50 bucks in perfect shape). If i can make the harness that i have work then i will go with that but if not then brothers had a new wiring kit for 300.

So you do not have a cluster for the 79 right. the 73- 75 all have the AMP gauge will burn up the 79 wiring harness or the cluster if not rewired . check your mail for scans.
