I would agree that for a bone stock application that buying an OEM style harness is the way to go.

However, that being said, I have used (2) Painless Kits and had no problems with either of them. I did contact their tech. support people a few times, and they were very courteous and helpful.

The fact that you need to make your own terminations allows you to route the wires in a very organized manner and then cut them to fit. Also everthing that was needed was supplied by Painless, except a crimping tool. I realy have nothing but accolades for Painless, good product and good people.

The insight that Chuck gives about EZ Wiring is very helpful, thanks Chuck. I had considered buying an EZ Wiring harness for my 65 C10 to save a few bucks, I think I will stick with Painless. I plan to move the fuse box into my console for ease of access and I have a lot of custom, non stock compopnents, therefore an OEM style won't work.

Thanks again Chuck for your post.
