Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
I was on classicparts.com looking at wiring, doesn't appear that they have an entire kit, so I went through and added all the pieces of the harness to my shopping cart......$528.40 before shipping
so can anyone point me to an original style complete kit? I don't want a universal, I want it to look and fit like the original....

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
thanks John...
I was looking at both of those yesterday I need to call M&H Fabricators, they don't seem to sell complete kits, just the individual harnesses. and I believe they supply LMC.. As far as American Autowire, they seem to have a really nice harness, also one of our vendors, Musclerodz, sells one specific to our trucks for a reasonable price http://musclerodzstore.com/index.asp...ROD&ProdID=261 the description sounds like a complete kit with original grommets and connectors

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
the price from Classic Parts?
they don't technically sell a "kit" that is the price for buying all the individual harnesses, no new switches or anything. I think the American Autowire kit comes with new switches and wiring for after market a/c, hei, tach, newer alternator, courtesy light, ect., ect. sounds like a good deal for under $500

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
If I had it to do over again I would go with the American Autowire kit. It looks REAL nice and is the most complete kit I have seen. I will use one on my next project...

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
^^
Call Ron Francis wiring, you fill out what gauge plugs you have ign, and all accessories and they custom make you one for your truck. Mine has all with spots for door poppers, power windows, A/C, MSD and all the usual goodies to get you confused But now i have to buy a engine harness for the TPI.. |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Switching the stock wiring to HEI and internal regulated alternator isn't very difficult.

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
small update....
got the holes in the frame welded up, also finished welding the radiator cut out replacement pieces, and ground everything smooth... I loaded up the front suspension to take to work so I can press out the lower ball joints and clean everything up and get it ready to paint....think we are going to get poly A-arm bushings, I'm worried about the squeak though, I know the poly bushings reuse the metal sleeve, any suggestions about removing the rubber from the sleeve?? I have a press at work, will the rubber press out of the sleeves...I'm also going to make a call this week to see about getting the frame blasted, and I'm going to get some POR so the wife can get the frame painted...we gotta get back on this thing if we wanna drive it this fall Thanks for tuning in

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Take the stereo out of the '80 and it'll fix the squeaks.....glad to see it moving Joe....and I enjoyed the thread on the '80. Looks like you're trying to show me up with your grinding skills.
