Im trying to find out what you folks have used and recommend for a "direct fit" factory style replacement harness for your 67-72 trucks. I'm looking to replace a complete harness. Thanks!

I bought an American Autowire kit, but haven't installed it yet. Looks nice though!

You'll like it. I would use them again for sure. I'll admit, reluctantly, that I ruined a hand full terminals attempting to use generic crimpers. I watched their crimping video on their web site, ordered the real crimpers and it was a piece of cake after a shaky start.

I got mine at Early Classic. Not sure of manufacturer but it already had all the connections made. No crimping, cutting, nothing. Just plug it in and go.

Go with the American Auto Wire Kit. Insturtions are easy to follow.

hfd410 · 01-05-2013, 06:53 PM

On that one from ECE I ordered it for HEI and one wire alternator. No cutting of firewall for fuse box. All factory correct wire colors. Very simple and fast. The under dash, engine, and front harness took about an hour but my cab was stripped. I had no old wire to deal with...

I boought a complete front end light harness and an engine harness (with HEI wire) for my 1972 GMC from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. They are made by M&H autowire. A direct plug and play fit with all the factory mounts and tabs. Wrapped with the correct "tape", and has the plastic run channels where needed.

Great product.

I'm almost positive that's the manufacturer of the one I got from ECE. They are nice and like stated above, all correct tape, tabs, etc

Just looked on ECE's site and didn't see anything, did you have to call to order?

hfd410 · 01-05-2013, 07:18 PM

I just looked. They are about halfway down on the right side of their homepage. I'm gonna send you a PM

Yeah. ECE sells the M and H. I used the harnesses once and never have, or would, use anything else again. Engine harness, front (light) harness, under dash harness, rear harness. All perfect.

As for installation? Perfectly easy. I'm an Idiot. So, if I can install them, anyone can.

Costs a little. But, for me, I saved up for all the harnesses on both trucks and now I don't have to think about electrical gremlins.
