Painlessly doing it
i'm in the process of rebuilding my pride and joy 71 chevy c10, and am wanting to rewire the truck to fix the thirty two years of add ons, and goof ups. the only complete setup i have found is Painless, and i am wondering how good of quality it is, wiring is no problem for me, so ease of install is not such an issue. are there any other manufacturers of complete harnasses out there? just trying to get some good opinions ( or bad ) before i go out and spend 500 bucks! thanks

chevyforever--I've always heard good things about Painless, but their prices are high. You might want to check out EZ Wiring. www.ezwiring.com I've only heard good things about their kits, and I have talked to some people in person who have used them. All good reports and alot cheaper. I know exactley what you mean about the add ons and goof ups. It gets pretty nasty under there after all those years. I want to eventually buy an EZ Wiring kit for my '68 just to clean it up and to know that it was done right. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Let me tell you first hand about Painless. It is EXACTLY what is says it is ...painless. Demmit_hemmit's 65 suburban and I are nearly complete with the full install. Every wire is the correct guage, color, and identified without question. There is more than enough length on every wire to run them anywhere. You name it, if you want A/C, it's marked, stereo speakers...it's marked. I am very happy with the Painless system, the design is very user friendly. My .2

I installed Painless in my Model A, and helped install one in popeye72's truck. Very easy to install, and no problems.
