wiring harness help please

[TX58]

58 apache resto going strong, have engine being rebuilt and tranny freshend up. Cleaning up engine bay and just removed bed. Previous owner hacked up wiring harness. Who sells the best and easiest replacment harnesses? Truck has a 283 V8 with HEI and alternator. Want to replace harness front to back. It does not have factory signal switch but I do have the clamp on style. How do i hook up a flasher with this? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks

EZ Wiring makes a fairly inexpensive kit and it's fairly straight forward

I agree with the EZ wireing as well.
I have tried others, but you cant go wrong with this one. I have it on my 56 and took me about 5 hrs to complete.

ebay the crazylights person i ordered form them just like original and not bad on price ,i used the tailights and underbed wiring harness and headlight ,

[IndyBowtie]

Ditto EZ wire. Just helped install one and now ordering one for my '48.

The best wiring harness is American Auto Wire, more complete than anyother kit on the market but it comes with a bigger price tag.. I've not used EZ wire but all you guys can't be wrong..

I used a harness from Rebel wire on my 57. I am very happy with the quality of the harness and his customer service.

EZ wire was so simple even a troglodyte could do it.

Unless you are bent on having a "just like original" harness Rebel Wire has a good reputation and they have the reputation of answering your questions when they come up.

Wiring is one place where quality and service after the sale trump price but I believe that they are more than competitive on price.

I used American Autowire and I'm very happy with it. Whichever one you get, good crimpers, shrink tubing and wire cover is key to have it come out right.

American Autowire and nothing gets reused.

American autowire front to back on my 57

American Auto Wire for me, and nothing else. I bought from Bailey's Garage, http://myworld.ebay.com/baileysgarage/, (513) 478-4133. His Ebay store is closed for the holidays but he might answer the phone.

Rick is local to me and I've known him since 1978, so if you have problems I'll go over and beat on him.

I'm another satisfied EZWire user. I think it was a good deal at $180 for the 21 circuit kit but be aware that you have to put the tips on the wires. Like Renegade said, get a good crimping tool, a good supply of connectors, and lots of shrink tubing. I'm not totally comfortable with the standard crimp connections so I soldered most of mine. Also be aware that they assume that you are using a GM style column so it is designed to plug into that. I'm keeping the original column and turn signals so I had to modify mine some.

I'm installing a america auto wire kit in my 71 so i am very happy with it

Anyone use the harness from classic parts? From classic industies? The say it comes with factory connectors.

I just installed one today from Classic on my '50 3/4 ton . It is the best $150 I spent so far on the truck. The one I purchased was for the alternator setup. All the wires were easily marked and the terminal ends right where they are suppose to be with the proper wire terminal. The only addition I had to make was adding a wire for my A/C compressor and a lead for my electric fuel pump. The worst part was working under the dash but you will have that with any harness. This harness was wired for the turn signals front/back.
