GMT400 Suburban Frame Off Build: Body Removal & Getting Ready for Frame Paint! (What To Remove)

What happens here

The main body wiring harness needs to be disconnected from the frame. The creator shows a large, multi-pin connector that he initially struggled with. He explains there's a 1/4 inch bolt inside the connector that needs to be unscrewed while pulling on the connector to release it. He emphasizes that the harness contains wires for various functions like heater controls and starter, and it cannot simply be cut. The goal is to separate it from the frame, allowing it to remain with the body.

Goal: Separate the main body wiring harness from the frame
