YES I mean rewiren' the whole rig. Just started. I studied the OG wiring diagrams as well as the diagrams that came with my total wire set, But at one point I was trying to make sense of to many wires in my hand and had to drop them all and go back to looking at those diagrams again and again and again, etc......(by the way they call alternators ;AC generators back in 64) after about 10 looks at it.

SORRY no BBQ get togethers for a couple of months as you can see from the pics. Have a good time y'all!

Other than improving my welding and metal fab skills, my rewire project has been the BIGGEST learning experience yet on this fram off restoration. The mystery of the electrical system it my truck is now "No Problem"

Uphostery kit $200 do it yourself vs. $500-$800 Quotes I got for a bench seat. The white straightened out w/ 4hrs of sun and another stretch. Take it EZ

You'll find that wiring is actually pretty fun and easy....almost as fun and easy as your kids there....am I right ??

I know I've done my share of wiring for customers, and I have two of my own (kids that is)

Just make sure every circuit is FUSED !!!!

CLean engine compartment BTW....
