I've done 4 different cars with Rebel harnesses and plan on doing this truck with one too.

Re: opinions on updated chassis wiring?
American Autowire is good. I use Ron Francis on all of my hot rod projects, including my C10 that I'm currently wiring. It comes pretty custom and pre-wired according to the application and user specified options. Each kit comes with an individual serial number, so customer service is specific to the kit.

American autowire is who I use. I have used some that were much cheaper but imo, cheaper isn’t always better.

Re: opinions on updated chassis wiring?
American autowire come with new plugs. even comes with dew dimmer switch, headlight switch and a few other pcs which saves money elsewhere. I looked around a bunch last night and pretty sure that's what i'm going with. i'm going to call and see if theres enough room in their relay/fuse panel to make my standalone ls harness go straight to it

Re: opinions on updated chassis wiring?
I used the AAW kit. It comes with damn near everything you need but you will need to buy or rent the crimping pliers. I got a pair off of Amazon for $40 that worked great.

is there extra spots for relays/fuses in that kit? I need some extra spots for my engine harness wiring. I emailed AAW but no response yet. Either way I'm going that route for sure looks like the best kit out |

Re: opinions on updated chassis wiring?
I just took this shot. There are extra places to plug in for ignition and battery sourced power. I don't know how many fuses you need. You could use the CB spot for something and the power seat plug if you not using that I suppose. There is also the fused spot with the number above it I think that is for an auxiliary harness or fuse block they sell can't remember.
