Talking wire mess

I have a 1987 4 door crew cab 4x2. It started out gas,now it has a 7.3Lturbo desiel It has two wire harnesses under the hood. One from the gas engine and one from the desiel. What a mess. PS the motor is a 1996 power stroke. What would be the best way to solve my problem.

Buy yourself an EVTM for the two trucks. Get some coffee and sit down and see what you need to connect together and what can be groomed out. Take your time and test, test, & verify. Good luck
