Wiring kit recomendations for a 61 short bed please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Goodmorning from Colorado,
I have a 1961 chevy short bed that I am trying to find a wiring kit for.
This will be my first time re-wiring a vehicle (the simpler the better), I am having a tough time finding a kit specific to this year.

My truck runs a 283 with a powerglide if this helps.

I have heard good things about "painless" kits, however the kits they have (all I find) are for 63-66 trucks.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED M&H ELECTRONICS HAS THE BEST WIRING KITS FOR OUR TRUCK WITH LOTS OF OPTIONS FOR UPGRADING. http://www.wiringharness.com/ I HAVE USED THEM IN TWO OF MY TRUCKS AND THEY ARE AS EASY AS PLUG AND PLAY. HERE IS THEIR TRUCK PDF CATALOG http://www.wiringharness.com/PDFS/TR...hevy_Truck.pdf

I was gonna recommend American Autowire, but can't look at their catalog from my work computer. M & H looks like some seriously good stuff!

Thanks guys, I was hoping for a kit. But the M & H products look to be exact fits. (This was not clear with amer wire)

After a deeper look man, that place is going to add up.
Going to give a call to painless wiring amd see what I run into.
