Are you making your own harness or purchasing a standalone?

Deleting the security sytem will get it running but not always driveable. Only certain computer os will work on a swap. 8 speeds are much harder to get working than a 6speed. I have only had about 3 successful 8 speed swaps. If you have the orginal tcm for The 8 speed it should work. I can test both computers at my work before hand. If you get everything working together you can get performance like this...

Vannatta20 - what have you used for gas pedals on your C10 swaps? I've got the factory 2015 truck pedal that came with my motor but I sure don't see a very good way to mount it. Any input would be appreciated!
