Another update, installed the transmission and 4wd actuator harness on the chassis.
Outside of a steering box, hubs and tie rods it's ready to go.

After routing the actuator harness away from all moving front wheel drive parts i realized something.... My current truck and it's wiring was in no way shape or form prepared for a cab swap.
As many of you know, this truck was originally a electronic injected 6.5, and i converted it to a mechanical using an aftermarket trans controller when i was about 19 or 20. Well everything has held up as I've daily driven this truck for the past 7 years. But i left all of the extra pigtails and connectors zip tied out of the way in the engine bay and down by the transmission plugs. (in case i ever wanted to go back to electronic injection)
Well, obviously with a transfer case and a driveshaft all of that excess wiring can't be there. So i decided to do what i should've done when i swapped it years ago. Removed all the excess wiring, connectors, plugs that weren't needed. It really cleaned up the engine bay.
Everything is now fastened the way a factory DB2 truck would've been wired in no excess wiring or plugs. The transmission controller is mounted way up underneath the dash. Nobody would ever know it's there.

I also took this opportunity to re-wire my cab lights (which i installed immediately after buying the truck) and overhead console using heat shrinking rather than butt connectors.

Just really got on a roll and re-wired the entire truck really....

So overall, now the cab is ready to be swapped once the chassis is fully ready and i have a steady couple weeks to get rides to work. All of the wiring is up to par with the quality i put forth in my Cummins swap so now i can really be comfortable with everything in both trucks wiring wise.
Took a bit of time, but the peace of mind is well worth it.
