value of wiring ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK Dinnut needs some wiring and I told him I needed to figure out what it worth before I sell it anywhere, to a board member or on ebay. I am clueless, but this is what I have.

Complete wiring , dash and engine for 1970 350 Custom with A/C, including guages and fuse box, etc... I am kind of a perfectionist so I was careful not to go crazy clipping wires accept of ones that would be a quick fix (starter, dimmer, cab light (above window inside) and I think the fuel sending wire. It was getting cold and I was getting impatient with these.

I probably should keep this...but what on earth is something like this (these) worth? Dinnut, pay attention to these answers.

I bought 2 of these for $15 or $20 each complete with all the connectors and fuse block last year. I paid $10 for the tail light harness. I still have not checked the continuity of EACH wire yet. Remember, these wires are over 30 years old. There could be a break here and there that could need splicing. The other thing is the condition of the fuse holders. Aside from yours missing a few connectors, if everything else has been checked for continuity with a multi-meter and no rusted fuse holders, I would say $40-$50. Just a guess.

New repo's engine $70, under dash $285.
It would depend on how much dinnut would be willing to offer for you to sell. JM.02

There is a complete 72 Chevy dash and engine wiring harness I have pulled out of a truck in a salvage yard. I spent a better part of a day getting every end possible including fuse block, A/C, gadges, front lights, engine, etc, then found out the owner of the salvage yard wanted to charge me $75 for it. It is still sitting there.

That's sorta what I figured, somwhere between $50-100, depending on condition. Since I've been cutting away the front of the truck with a sawzall and systematically getting closer to having only the engine remaining, I was careful in the removal process...especially since I was wondering if I'd ever need it someday!

$40 TO $50 IS A PRETTY KILLER DEAL imo.

I saw the one I was talking about again today. Then I decided to look more in to this truck. WOW, it's a 72 Chevy Custum 10 Deluxe, and the option sticker on the glove box is almost full, including Highlander package and some unknown "special promotional package". I'm trying to get the seat out of it to see if there is a special piece of paper under there. It had tilt, but no tach too.
