Default Is it possible to use the stock fusebox?

I need to make my custom harness for my 5.3 build. But was wondering is it possible just to reuse the whole harness and fuse box without pulling any wires out. Just by adding wires.

Are you trying to reuse the truck fuse box?
If so yes you can, but there is still a lot of wiring you can remove from the harness.
The truck fuse box is fairly large and isn't the easiest thing to mount.

Yes I would like to reuse the fusebox.
Well I got a complete harness with fusebox and ecu uncut. I'm trying to do litle to no mods to get it working.
Then on the other hand I got another ecu and harness and fusebox I already started removing unneccesary sensors. But need project started rather quick to get it to paint while I mod the second harness.First complete set is dbw or the one which comes with the electronic gas pedal.

Do you have the rest of the plugs for the fusebox and the other half of the connectors to tie in to the body harness?
The F-body fusebox is nicer and smaller then the truck one

I'm using the 5.3 fuse box to control my engine and fuel pump.
