Have you considered just converting it over to a standalone harness and being rid of all the extra bullshit?
Only thing I don't know is if you are still trying to use bcm functions that may not be an option.
When I think of your truck I put it into a category closer to mine than a normal street truck. That said, you could convert the harness over to a stand alone to make that all very simple and modular. Then wire the rest of the truck old school style and be rid of all the bull **** you don't need. You can still have your power windows, locks, lights, blinkers, horn and all that ****....you'd just do it on it's own circuit board. Thats how mine is done. I only retained power windows, lights (drl's, park, low beam, high beam, fog, license plate and brake lights). I did not add a circuit for the blinkers. I kept the speakers in the truck in the event that one day I want to put it back on the street......and I'll just use an aftermarket head unit.

How did you go about getting everything on a different circuit? I wouldn't even know own where to start with that

Hadn't thought about it but if I can't get it working with a new fuse box that will be my next option. I want to be able to have a complete working truck with the gauge cluster, lights and ac. The truck has manual windows with power locks.

To get around the gauge issue, I first gutted a stock cluster and installed all the necessary autometer gauges, then in the end decided that I didn't need all that jazz as it was being data logged anyway. So I just put 3 gauges up on the pillar (fuel press, oil press, afr) and mounted a tack w/shift like in the factory cluster.
If you would like to do something similar, let me know and I'll quote you a price.
This is the harness to the rear
Door harness's for the windows and speakers
Harness to the front for the lights
Main switch panel:
Switch panel for the lights
Front and Rear harness coming through the firewall
Not a good shot, but the main panel
I've probably got more but you get the idea.
