Re: Ordering a new wiring harness for my 69 opinions and suggestions?
I have bought harnesses for two trucks from LMC. Don't know who makes them but they were just like stock, fit perfectly, and appeared to be of good quality. They had all the right colors and connectors and no mods were necessary. Plug and play.

Re: Ordering a new wiring harness for my 69 opinions and suggestions?
after doing a bunch of reading and talking to a buddy who owns an auto electric shop I went with the American Autowire kit. Not the cheapest but the quality looks great, it just came in yesterday. hopefully I will install it in the next month.
Having picture uploading problems, I will add a few later.

Re: Ordering a new wiring harness for my 69 opinions and suggestions?
I am also just finnishing a build on a 72 stepper with upgrades like power windows, power seats, power doors, and dual electric fans. All have their own fuses in the fuse panel. I purchased ours from M&H witch is the same as american autowire. Extreamly happy with it. WES

![]() As for problems, just make sure and read the scematics carefully. When we sell a wire kit to someone I help them get through their wiring issues when they get hung up. The main part of the harness has all of the factory plugs and terminals already installed so that part is easy enough. It is when you go to wireing all of the "other" stuff that can be confusing... ![]() ![]()

Re: Ordering a new wiring harness for my 69 opinions and suggestions?
I used a Painless...it was on sale at Summit, I think it ended up costing me about $300. If I was doing it again I wouldn't use a Painless because of things they don't tell you about their "complete" wiring harness until you open the box and look at the instructions.
