Started on my least favorite part of this project, installing the American Autowire kit I bought about a year ago. It's been slow but steady progress. I've installed the headlights, parking lights & backup lights as part of this phase of the project. I'm about, by my estimate, 3/4 of the way thru the wiring. The donor alternator that came with the '92 model 454 didn't match up with the wiring kit, but I managed to find the alt that I needed at the local parts for a reasonable price & they took the old one as a core.

A few photos below showing work in progress.

New repro backup lights. '66 was first year for standard b/u lights. The stepside used a thick, wedge shaped rubber insulator between the light & fender. Luckily for me both were stillon the trk & reusable.

Rewiring in progress under the dash. American Autowire does try to make their kits as idiot proof as possible. I'm putting them to the test LOL
