I'm not sure what you mean by "confirm listing", but that won't work as is on the early trucks.  Some place between 1981 and 1985 the pinouts on the curved connector changed.  I ran into that when I used an early harness on Big Blue.  And I don't know that I ever figured out exactly when the change was mad.

But it can be made to work by making minor wiring changes.  If I remember correctly I had to re-pin the connector and run one extra wire.

The writing on the box indicated it will work for 1980-1986... I wondered if that was accurate? Thanks for clarifying!

If anyone is interested here's a link to where I documented the problem I had with Big Blue: https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/Big-Blue-s-Transformation-tp28014p55411.html.  Start reading there and continue on to this post towards the top of the next page.
