I am getting ready to wire my 54 3100 project and have a question about the harness "cover". When researching harnesses, a vendor told me "In 1949/1955 trucks were made in California and Kansas City.
CA harness were taped and
KC harness were braided."

I think I decoded that my truck was assembled in Norwood. So I am wondering if anyone has any input about the vendor's statement, or whether there is any way to know if the braided loom or tape is correct.
Thanks,

Nico

1954 Chevrolet truck wiring looms were plastic covered, not braided.

I think that 1954 CHevrolet trucks were made in several different factories.

K for Kansas City
O for Oakland
L for Los Angeles
among others

What is the name of the vendor?

Thanks Tim, the vendor was Vintage Wiring of Maine. Looks like they make really nice stuff, but pricey and turns out not for 54 trucks.

blumarin,

Classic Parts sells a very nice 1954 wiring harness. It includes extra wire for front/rear turn signals, if you have/want them (covered with original color coverings)..
