Wiring Harness...

Who has rewired? What did you use? Wasit a complete harness with all connectors? Is the Brothers complete harness for $220 complete like it says? I'm leaning towards that.

By the way, mine is a '55 2nd series with the 6 and a manual tranny. Lots of cut wires, bare ends, etc.. The wire to the coil was broken and hanging on by a single strand, lol. A complete rewire is going to be neccessary. I'd like you guys' advice. Thanks very much.

Re: Wiring Harness...

I bought a EZ wire set, haven't installed it yet. Still in the box, looks quality, everything labeled and proper sizes for the use. I had some questions and called them, the Owner answered the phone and was very helpful. Said when I got ready to wire some of the odd things like the winch, trailer circuits, etc. to call him back for some suggestions. Only big change I am going to make is to set it up with quick connects to front clip and bed stuff so if I pull the bed or clip without having to rewire.
