I have come to the realization that the wiring in my '37 is so poor that I have to take the plunge and install the new wiring harness that came with it when I bought it before I'll be able to get everything hooked up...
My question is, what is the best way of going about replacing really messed up wiring in my truck? There seems little point in following what is already there as it is half disconnected and the other half completely "Mickey Moused" together with multiple splices and wire colors all in the course of just about any given wire...
Is my best plan of action to just tear out ALL the wiring and start right from scratch with nothing in the way? Not sure of the brand of the wiring harness but it says it was made in Brazil and seems to be pretty good quality...
Today we laid it out and labelled the ends of every wire using the schematic so I'm pretty much ready to go for it... I just wanted the opinions of those who have taken on a job like this before to see what works best...
Oh one last thing... I also just purchased a new Ididit steering column because the wiring on the old column was really mangled too...
Would it be in my best interest to install the new steering column first so I have GOOD wiring to connect to or should I rewire everything else I can and THEN install the new steering column?
Your thoughts? Thanks in advance...
