Im going to get a new wiring harness for the truck, the fuse block and everything. Have any of you guys done the same, im wondering which one i should get.

Are you gonna keep the round glass fuses, or upgrade to the block style? I upgraded to block style in the Mustang I no longer have for the color codedness, and availability. I used the Painless system, and was very "painless". Everything was pre cut to almost the perfect lengths, and directions were very easy to follow.

GMCPaul has them. Be prepared, they're not cheap. If you have the right materials, and your old one isn't too bad, you can rebuild it. Yours must not be too bad, I saw you driving down the street yesterday. I was in the car, wasn't sure if you saw me waving at you or not.

Before you go with the Painless system check out www.ezwiring.com I've only heard good things about there systems. From what I understand they are almost identical to the Painless systems, but at a fraction of the cost. I've seen one of the setups in person, and all the wires are labled, etc. Very professional lookings.

Church is a vendor for painless. Check with him before Jegs.

I sell the exact replacment harness w/ the glass fuses and directions aren't needed because it is all assembled and the right length, but like mentioned above they aren't cheap

Jon, it was on Main St. Tues. afternoon, and I was in the Caddy (it's got the coldest air cond. in my fleet, lol). By the way, you might put a post on the parts board to see if anyone has one of those harness' for sale, if you haven't already done so. I seem to remember someone having some for sale, but can't remember who it was. Possibly Junkyardjohn?
