An American Autowire Kit has so many valuable items included, that I did use it and am very happy. If you want to buy all the switches, connectors, terminals for the connectors, fuse box, CORRECT SIZED color coded automotive wire, boots, sleeving, bulb sockets, under dash lamps, column plug, alternator plug, dimmer switch , Headlight switch, schematics and on and on...and cut it all to length, you may save some money. Depends on whether you dig doing that, the level of restoration you want and your pocketbook. Both ways have their advantages. Every possible add on accessory is provided for in the kit. The kit has gone up to $539 (55-59 Chevy Truck Classic Update kit on Ebay) I am doing the next truck with a 80's Truck fuse box and wire from Ebay/Summit and terminals and connectors from Terminal Supply Company. You need Packard 56/59 terminals and Delphi connectors to be Kosher. Waytek is a good supplier also. I could say it ain't no big deal, but I've done it before many times. Back in the day there were no store bought harnesses. You can get it started with about three wires. If you drive only in the daylight and use your arms, your done!! $5.
