Re: wiring harness for 66 c10

The ez2wire kit looks remarkably like the american autowire kit.

I am installing that same classic upgrade wiring kit from american autowire right now. The wiring is all 14 gauge or bigger which is great, and there are many decent connectors, and it includes most of the circuits that you need. But it could do a few things better. I don't care for their recommended mounting method for the fusebox. It got in the way of my cowl vent handle. Also they use different connectors for the starter solenoid and ignition power wires, and also for the rear lights. These connectors do not pass through the firewall cleanly. Its almost like they couldn't figure out a better way. The rear one makes sense for a car where the dome lamp, fuel tank and tailights all run to the back, but to run all these on a single connector for a truck seems odd to me.

I am reusing several of my stock connectors and re-routing some wires through different connectors to clean things up a bit. But that said, the AAW kit is quite complete and serves as a good base. Its a pretty good deal for the money if you don't have any factory wiring to start with.

If you have most of your factory connectors then I'd buy one of the more universal kits, plus a bag of male and female pins and a quality crimper and just remake your own harnesses
