Guys,

I'm looking ahead to wiring my '49 Chevy 3800. I am planning to build my own harness. I am converted to 12v. It will be basic. I am only adding 3 things that the factory didn't have. A basic stereo system, fog lamps, and electric wipers. My truck has an aftermarket turn signal which I plan to reuse. Keeping things basic. Although I would like to have a circuit or 2 left over just in case. I believe my stereo set up will allow for me to use an inline fuse, but would prefer one at the panel if space allows. I have a spot I want to hide it, so space is a limiting factor. I think I have room for a panel with 8 fused circuits.

So here is my question...Which circuits on the truck need to be fused? I plan to use relays on the headlights and fog lamps. I've seen the difference they make and I will depart from stock for that simple upgrade from a safety standpoint.

At a minimum, I will need fuses in the panel for.......
