"They' state that wires are color-coded,cut,and soldered to spec's,both cloth and plastic.depending on original application. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | They make excellent harnesses.
The cloth harnesses are higher-priced than the later plastic harnesses.
I have found that the lower-priced plastic harnesses from Classic Parts (truck parts) are high quality and match the original harness quite nicely. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 228 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 228 | Classic Parts has several harnesses. The only one designated for stock replacement is # 52-024. (51 GMC, 12 volt, Alternator)
Tim, is this the harness you are referring to? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | A little bit of confusing description by Classic Parts. "Replaces original perfectly", but not perfectly original appearance. I think that GMC went to plastic/taped harnesses in 1954. Earlier GMC harnesses were most likely cloth covered (as were Chevrolet's). I do not see Classic Parts (or Jim Carter) listing cloth braided covered harnesses (they both use to lust them - probably too expensive to keep in stock?). | | |
