Need Electrical Assistance

Long story short,... paid $20,000 for a full and complete audio install,... custom fiberglass dash, door panels, rear seats,... the works. The guy at LAS VEGAS AUTO SOUND named RUDY stole my money and hauled *** to New Jersey. Now I have a completely gutted Bronco and am $20,000 lighter for the trouble.
This leads us to my current dilema. I am trying to at least get the digital gauges, new dash, and steering column in so I can drive it to other audio shops for them to finish. There is no dash now, and all the wires,... I mean ALL the wires are hanging through the firewall.Does anyone have any kind of schematics or wiring guide that I can beg borrow or steal for an 86 full size bronco SLT?

I am pretty much buried at this point without this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the way,... anyone know where I can find the p.o.s. named RUDY???

Dang, must be REAL nice to have $20K to chunk into a square un-aerodynamic gas guzzler. I have no idea about the wires but just had to comment on the $$$$ being spent on something that could be stolen in less than 5 minutes. Take it to an auto shop and pay the money since it looks like you have a little to spare anyway. I'm not doggin you, I'm just amazed at how people spend their money.

Good luck.

I appreciate the advice.

Go to Dakota Digital, they have a variety of digital guages. Sorry to hear about your losses. It's also best to have a Chilton's manual as well as a Haynes. Sometimes one of them has better descriptions than the other.
