Eventually I will get an all new wiring harness for my 58 Suburban.

In the meantime I'm thinking about installing a switched power strip. The back of my ignition switch is a hot mess. What I'd like to do is figure out how to install a power strip of sorts that I could use to hook switched devices into (radio, cig lighter/power port, electric wipers etc.)

What I'm imagining is some sort of switch/relay that is hooked to one of the posts on the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on it will trip the relay/switch and send power to the power strip. I'll have to be very careful about insulating the power strip so as not to create a dead short. I could put an inline fuse on the relay and some sort of heavy duty fuse or fusable link between the battery and the power strip.

Is any of this making sense?? Any ideas??

Thanks
