Re: Complete rewiring
I used the Painless 18 circuit part # 10206 http://www.shopatron.com/home/search...=10206&x=7&y=7 you will need to do some splicing and soldering, but it comes with extra circuits for power windows. fuel pump, fans etc.

Re: Complete rewiring
I did a lot of reading/searches on this topic the passed few weeks. I came to the conclusion that AAWire was the way to go.

Re: Complete rewiring
Ive used ez wire twice and painless once. Currently have a new ez wire that will go in the 68 when Im ready.
I think they are all good----and fairly easy to use----ez wire is cheaper and the quality is as good. |

Re: Complete rewiring
I'm going agree with LedZepp & Tmwoodall on the American Autowire too. I have been installing one of these in my 72 Burb using the truck version & it would be perfect for a truck. Very complete & gives you all the correct sockets to make it a near factory install. Also having each wire labeled every couple inches makes it real easy to install. It assumes HEI setup. Not the cheapest around $450 but well worth it.

Re: Complete rewiring
out of curiosity..do these 'universal' kits come with plugs or pigtails that connect to all the accessories in the truck? like the ignition plug, gauge plug, headlight switch, wiper switch, etc. or do you have to reuse the ones you currently have(which seems kinda useless to have to use old connecters). I know some kits come pre terminated, others are more bulk. just curious what others are doing when it comes to the connecters.

Re: Complete rewiring
You really should be looking for a wiring harness that has the circuits for everything you will be needing. A 12 circuit wiring harness is just the bare minimum. You should look it at least an 18 circuit wiring harness. I used the Painless wiring harness made for our trucks. It has the correct connections included. I used the 18 circuit truck wiring system (1967-1972) part # 10206. I installed it close to 10 years ago and have had no issues with it. Jegs has it for $388.00!

Re: Complete rewiring
Painless 18 circuit as mentioned by keith. Take Your time and it will turn out great. i got mine from jegs with a 100 dollar rebate from painless. it was well worth it.

Re: Complete rewiring
I used the painless 18 curcuit on my truck but i wish i had not. It has extra wires for everything which is nice but i dont have any of that stuff so now i just have a bunch of unused wires. The harness was not bad i just didnt get the right one for my use.

Re: Complete rewiring
AAW uses multi plug connections for all those extra circuits, so if you do not use them you do not have 20 feet of wire to cut off or roll up under the dash. I hope you terminated all the unused wires or pulled fuses to kill power to them

Re: Complete rewiring

Re: Complete rewiring
AAW sounds so complete, neat and easy. I see you're local. Are you doing the install yourself or having someone do it?
This is what sold me on the AAW kit. I don't have it, yet, but will be buying their kit soon. |

Re: Complete rewiring
I'd also go with American Auto Wire their wiring is superior to all the rest they use haevy duty wire and connectors plus you can buy direct from them and cut out the middle man.
www.americanautowire.com I used their harness to repair the A/C harness and you can see the difference in quality. |

Re: Complete rewiring
I bought my AAW kit from a board vendor and saved money over buying it direct. And yes the kit comes with headlight switch and ignition switch (with new keys). So you may to have your doors rekeyed if you want to run the same key on everything.
Cant remember which board vendor I bought it from >=(

Unless you want to take it in the shorts *no pun intended* go with any company OTHER than Painful Products.
