Where did you get your wiring harness?
I'm thinking it's about time to rewire my whole truck. So I'm now looking for harnesses (new) that are pretty much plug and play and also project budget friendly. I remember seeing a thread here on this subject but I just can't seem to find it.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
You can save a little money and go direct to M&H electric fabricators online.... Thats where most of the companys like Brothers and such get them from... I used to work there back in the 80s, one of the coolest jobs I had back then...

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
They seem to have everything I may need. But I'm hoping to find a bumper to bumper Kit. It appears to be all harness sections and no kits.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
The only kit that I've found that is direct plug with everything is from LMC trucks. All the other kits you have to splice most of all your ends on it. I have a painless kit for the 64-66 and I had to splice all the ends!

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
Well, I'm considering all options. What I'm mainly concerned about is cost and getting a complete wiring system. Splicing wires I can do no problem.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
I have not bought one yet but my plan is the American Autowire one.
http://musclerodzstore.com/index.asp...ROD&ProdID=261 supposed to be plug and play with all the factory grommets and connectors. and it also allows for many aftermarket options Quote:
btw, Musclerodz is a site vendor also ![]()

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
I bought an E-z Wiring 21 circuit with matching gauges. The reputation behind the company is very good.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
Yeah, I looked into the EZ wiring. I like what I saw. I also looked into Rebel Wiring and liked what I saw there too. I think I maybe going with Rebel on this one. We'll see how it works out. I have a couple of projects going right now so I may have the chance to try them both out. And so far after reading all the reviews I have, both companies seem to have real good reps.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
Either one is a good choice, just dont go with the Painless, your basicly paying for the name to have the same harness. I wishI would have found this site before I bought stuff for my truck.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
I know what ya mean. Thats why I try to research all my options before purchasing parts. I wanna put my money on what counts cause a name alone won't get ya anywhere.

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
For what its worth, I bought an American Auto Wire kit for my 57 Chevy car...Great kit and highly recommend if they make one for our year truck.
I'm now installing a Painless kit in my 63 1/2 step and no comparison between the kits. AAW is the way to go as I said ,if made for our year trucks..Also not cheap but complete.. Bob |

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
Hey James:
I have the AAW kit for my 64 and it is beautiful. All factory connectors and colors. Excellent instructions as well. It comes with additional circuits for ac,power windows etc...A really nice kit. Doug. |

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
I know the M&H harness is a plug and play, they are made from the factory blueprints and have all the right clips and the plugs are all correct... You can get them stock or set up to what your runnin, HEI ignition and internal regulated alternator are a couple of the things worth lookin into...

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
as far as I can tell, the M&H doesn't come as a complete kit, you have to piece them together, is that right?

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
Yes thats right, you have lots of different harrness's on the truck ( engine,forward lamp,rear lamp, dash) to name a few... depending on what your doin to your particular truck you may not need all the harness's to complete the project...

so to me it is a no brainer..... I also realize the E-Z and Rebel are much cheaper, but they are also a universal type harness...it all comes down to personal choice and how many splices you will be able to live with ![]()

Re: Where did you get your wiring harness?
I rewired my whole truck. I wanted to keep the original connectors, etc so I went with some harness kits from American Classic Truck parts. They were much more reasonable than LMC and the quality seems pretty good. I didn't have any problems, other than having to grease up and push real hard on the connectors that go through the firewall.
