Good you had quick reflexes and went right to the source. Something like that has potential to completely destroy the truck.

SAFETY TIP: ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE POKING AROUND UNDER THE DASH.

I used a Hot Rod Wires harness on my '56 and I am very pleased with it. I've put 8 or more years of service on it with no problems. The shrink wrap is a good idea. I soldered and shrink wrapped all connections. There was plenty of extra wire at all connections. All color-coded GM standard. I highly recommend it.
