I have gotten to the point of installing the new wiring harness in my 53/54. How have you guys tackled this before? do you just remove the old harness complete and start with no wiring in place or do you go component by component? I don't see the room for a component by component swap, but that makes the most sense to me.
The old harness has been significantly hacked over the years and I have alot of stray wires and added wires for who know what was added and removed over the years. I was thinking of just removing everything and starting fresh but a little intimidated for fear that I might foul something up.

At this point I want to be able to get the truck on the road this year. I will not be doing any major cab metalwork or paint- so the new harness will need to come out next year (or when I get to the body and paint work) Mechanically I think I am set (brake system 100% new, rebuilt head and engine running well now) last step is getting the electrical system in order.

Any advice would be very much appreciated
