So I think this should be a permanent post. It took me months of scrubbing the internet, but I finally found a set of First gen Wire Diagrams that give all wire color codes for ALL components, unlike Chiltons and other manuals that don't break down ignition switches and so on. I know they are accurate for my 86 for most wires (some components not installed on my truck), and I know the ignition wires match my setup which is what I have been looking for forever. I am not 100% sure how many years they apply to for first gen trucks, but it is better than nothing and should help A LOT of people out on here. I know they helped me more than I can express in words.

the mechanic is correct in the aspect of a 83 harness is not plug and play with a 87. they went from a 40 pin firewall connector to a 50 in 84 or 85 but i would say if your mechanic was decent at wiring he could have made it work
