So, where do I start............no, really, where do I start?
As some may have read in previous posts, I have a '49 short bed half ton that came to me with a "modern" engine/transmission, Camaro front end and a Nova rear end. Apparently it was a popular conversion a number of years ago. In any event, the truck also included a "modern" wiring harness.
Ever since I got the truck, I have been cutting unnecessary wiring our of the harness. I have kept the original GM fuse block, the steering column switches, and the aftermarket gauges. Most everything else has been cut out or cut back. I have left pigtails on most circuits in case I need to revive them for some reason. Now comes the moment of truth........
It's time to start the rewire process. I want to use my GM fuse block, and most likely will have to run new wires from the fuse block to the termination end. I have identified 23 things I will have in the truck that will require electrical service to operate. The problem is, I have no idea how to go about consolidating circuits, or just about anything else regarding the rewiring the entire truck.
I have looked online, but there are only a few very limited resources about "How To" go about doing this. I can't justify the expense of buying a pre-made harness that would include all the things I think I will need. I just want to run some wires, and have it all work.
Does anyone know of or have a book on how to go about this process, step-by-step? Maybe a really good website? Some good clues? Anyone ever done this?
Help me Obi-Wan!
