[QUOTE=robber grin;7591646]Is anyone aware of a source for engine harnesses that are set up for these trucks after the V8 swap?

For instance my 1962 Chevrolet C10 was a 6 cylinder truck with lights not gauges.

I left the stock instrument cluster in place with the lights and so far have not added any gauges. I may add some later.

The truck is now a 283 V8 with Pertronix conversion and newer CS style internally regulated alternator upgrade.

It had no engine bay wiring when I purchased it several years ago.

My truck is all factory 62 C10 under the dash, but I wired in the neutral safety switch and back up lights when I wired the van tilt.

So I'm looking for the most effective way to wire my engine - firewall plug forward given these considerations.

Thank you in advance and have a blessed day.
