Where is the cheapest place to buy one for our 67-72 trucks?.

Smooth68 · 11-12-2002, 10:51 AM

I got mine from E-Z Wiring They have a nice setup that is affordable and offers the high-temp wire coating.

Brett,
Thanks for the link. Alot cheaper than painless but is everything included including all connectors?

DennyB · 11-12-2002, 01:26 PM

Both E-Z and Painless are good sets but make note that E-Z only has labled Black wires and painless are gm color coded and labled.
If colored wires are not important then E-Z or Ron Francis wiring is the way to go.

Denny,
EZ now has colored wires on their site. Do you know if the connectors are installed already?. I never heard of Ron Francis.

Earl Junior · 11-12-2002, 02:57 PM

Chevy Duty sells Ron Francis wiring kits, and they adevertise GM color coding.

And since I bought one, I'm hoping that's true. If it'd only get here, I could put it in and get rolling on my motor install.

Smooth68 · 11-12-2002, 03:19 PM

It's definitely not a plug and play install - there are some connectors included but all the rest of the wires are bare ended - the guys there seem real helpful and can probably better answer your questions. The connectors I know of is the headlight, column and keyswitch. I did like the fact that there is plenty of length on all the harnesses.

I actually purchased the harness that is all black wiring with stamped lables every 6" or so. I think is great - no more hunting down what the dark green with yellow strip wire is....It clearly marked right on wire!

Thanks guys!

Painless wires are not only color coated, but labeled every 10 inches as well.

Ditto Randy.

I didn't know E-Z now sells colored wires.

I bought Painless.

The fuse box is wired. End connectors must be assembeled. connectors are provided.

The EZ Wiring kit is complete from headlight, engine to taillight.

TODDS 72 · 11-12-2002, 07:56 PM

I just did a 73 c/j 5 for a customer back 2 weeks ago,it went from headlites to tail lites,but it was not all that painless lol.
But the fact of being labled and color coded was a help.
I was not all that inpressed with the quality of the conecters,but everything worked when I got done,thank GOD.
There was a lot of extra wires in the kit that had to be removed.
Has anyone used the wire kits from LMC?,just wondering cause I have to do the 72.
