Default wire harness

Hey, for my 1984 K10 have bad wire harness. Needs to be replace. I have hard time to find new harness with cheap price. But I've see the painless harness. Wow it is SOOO EXPENSIVE $ I am trying find a cheaper $ for replace all harness. To see if someone familiar or been experince with some this info. To see if anyone can tell me where I able find a cheaper one. I would be appericated for that.

i think there were some major wiring changes between the 84 years and the 85, for the tail light harness in the 85 is way different than the 84, so one must assume they messed around in other places too.. late 80's to 84 match pretty good...

If you don't mind a bit of cheating, you may have the best shot getting what you need from a pull-it-yourself wrecking yard. I had an engine fire in my '84 Nissan 300ZX, and I searched until I found one with what looked like identical equipment. I cut the engine harness a little farther back than I had to cut the one in my car, got the section of harness and all the injectors for under $50. (The most expensive part of the repair was new spark plug cables.) I cut the jacket on each harness back about a foot and made a checklist of wire colors. Several were the same colors because the injectors were wired in parallel, so they were interchangable. I used crimp splices in a staggered pattern to splice the wires together - took an afternoon to do it - and wrapped the area with black tape. It really didn't look bad, and worked until I traded the car in about 5 years later.

No matter which way you go about it, get the best wiring diagram you can find. Wiring colors is a must, and better manuals (like Mitchell and Helm) have ground locations. Finding a good one may be your hardest challenge. Don't forget to check what the local library has.
