Re: painless wiring???

I bought the 18 circuit harness specifically for our trucks. I'm no expert by any means but it is fairly easy to install, take your time don't rush through it.

Re: painless wiring???

I got a kit from American Autowire. http://www.americanautowire.com/69-72truck.html It is really complete nice quality and great instructions. I wanted to move to the newer fuse types and add connections for electric locks and windows, and this kit has plenty of extra connections. One note is that they do not support the ammeter. This was not a problem for me as I am also installing a dash from Classic Instruments http://www.classicinstruments.com/ The two are plug and play.

Re: painless wiring???

I used the 18 circuit harness for are trucks also. It was easy to do but i didnt need most of the wires so if your dont plan on using alot of extra power stuff there is no need for 18 circuits. The best price i found it for was on ebay
