Hello all! I'm Ian and I've now found myself driving a 1990 GMC Sierra around. 
Always liked the look of the 90s GM trucks. That stemmed from a '90 Chevy W/T we had when I was very young. I liked the look of it, and I enjoyed watching the disc-cluster speedometer (always preferred non-needle instruments since then). Also with that truck, I liked to play with the equalizer bars on the cassette player. We got rid of that truck some years ago and traded it for a '92 GMC Sierra. The receiver box had already gone out, so I couldn't mess with the EQ on the tape player. Still have that truck, and I'm now restoring it along with mine.
Remembering those memories with the Chevy truck, I searched around for a few months and found a '90 GMC Sierra. It, of course, had the disc cluster instuments and hadn't been modified too much that I could see. That is, until I noticed how one of the previous owners had put the aftermarket radio in. All I can say is "GOOD GRACIOUS!" They botched the wiring job and used random other wires to function as electricity feed. That caused the oil gauge, interior lights, and a few other things to quit working. And they used audio wire to serve as regular electrical wire. Hope to get some help on which wires go to where.
Other than that, the truck works great. It has 230, 110 miles on it, but the transmission and engine were rebuilt about 10k miles ago. I'm all about originality and authenticity in most all my things, so the main thing I'd like to get done is put the original cassette player back in it. The major thing is how to undo the rats nest that is under the steering column.
