Adam,

That is a good start. Save the wire and parts that you take out, the might come in handy.

Before the depression, I did a lot of work on boats. Most were sloops over 30 years old and not retired from racing. I did a lot of this. I often would take a plastic milk crate aboard empty and take it off full of scrap wire.

I grew to hate two things that you may (Looks like will probably) come to hate as much as I do...
Hidden in-line fuses. (It's dead and you can't figure out why.)
Wires that change description mid-run. (How come the red wire does not go where it should but the blue one does and it should not?)

The only part of a GMC's electrics that should be changed out without it failing is the Buzz-Box (ferro-resonant) converter. Those were the best available at the time but are so out-classed by the modern smart multi stage that they should be out to pasture.
