Ok so really the only things i have questions on are the gray wire in the second pic, just a single spade female connector, and the second half of the coil. I cant see any wires missing on the harness itself... Isnt that second connector part of the main harness? Also, where do those wires go to, if i had to splice it in?

Well more questions now
Few more connectors, a few in the cab, one in the engine bay. I don't think they are anything important. I did cut a bit of the harness out that went to things I knew I wasn't going to use, so I don't remember if these are needed or not
This connector has a single tan/ white wire
This wire is cut and is all tan (it leads to that connector in the back of the photo)
This connector has an orange and a black wire going to it, Black is striped with white, and the orange with a black stripe.
This connector has a pink and a purple wire going to it
This connector doesnt really look factory, has a single blue wire going to it
Heres the one in the engine bay, single round connector

Label, no way, I have mind like a steel trap!
O2 sensor wire is right
I still cant for the life of me figure out WHERE THE HELL the other connector for the coil went
What does it get wired to?
sorry my truck is at shop and getting dark darn quick.
the tan/white wire is connected to your ebrake idiot light.
