I used a walbro inline pump and just bought a cheap regulator. I used the stock return line. I also welded a sump to the bottom of my stock tank to keep a good supply of fuel to the pump.
Speartech did my wiring harness but i used 98 camaro stuff so im not much help with that.

IIRC, the factory truck wiring does not have the most favorable layout of routing wires. You're still going to be into 300.00 if you send it out to be reworked. I recommend this for a harness source. PSIConversion.com John can tell you exactly what you can and can't do, along with recommendations to help you along. Keep searching this section, you'll get tired of reading there is so much.
