Wiring

Not seeing the plugs it's hard to say but most would be for optional equipment the truck dose not have.

One of those relays looks like a trailer lights relay.

What type of ignition system do you have? That yellow butt splice is not stock and that plug feeds the wiring to the top of the engine. I see a duraspark module but I am not sure you are using it?

That is a aftermarket wire tap. Did this truck have add-on dealer A/C at one time?

That is a ground strap for the hood. Where is your control cable for the top of the heater box?
