Default 96 K2500 Suburban 7.4 Restore thread

Morning Gents!

Long time forum user but never had or thought I'd ever own a Chevy till now, haha. Usually all over the ford forums with my superduty.

Long story short, neighbor gear-head ended up selling me his 1996 Chevy Suburban K2500 4x4 with the 7.4 in it.
Absolutely couldn't turn the offer down as he offered it for only 4500$ as he just got a older super-duty to tow more with.
Motor had a complete re-manufacture on it with less than 4K on the motor.
Everything mechanically on the sub is completely new. Pics below.
Now because I'm OCD with my vehicles I'm chasing the little things on it to fix if I can please get some input.

EDIT-LATEST QUESTIONS
What is this? Under drivers seat. Thanks!

Oh ya!

Forgot to ask,
My dome lights don't come on even with the override switch off. No biggy as all check fuses later, BUT
when I do get them fixed are the door lights on the doors real? Or just fakes?
Because if they will work I'd love to get the aftermarket LED ones for some nice light.

Thanks!



EDIT-
Turned out great thanks!

Console insert is not ashtray, just a container. Right rear cargo panel has the rear heater and a/c unit in it. That's why it has a grille in it if you have that option. No way to use for storage.

So the previous owner after the motor install made some crudish spark-plug wire brackets.
Want the factory brackets back.
Rockauto has them but was woundering how many of each I would need?

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...e+holder,12699

1 10 pack of the 3 wire holders? & 2 of the 1 wire holder?
Thanks in advance!

Don't know. Google the part number of the module.
