Thank you,

I don't think that I would go back to them though because of the lack of boots at the plugs. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 374 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 374 | I got mine from Jim Carter and they work great. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 714 | Big tee,

He has other styles of wire jacket. I’m not sure what style your year truck had originally, My 50 had the black lacquer type. I bought the kit classic parts sold , I ran them for about 20 minutes. It was quite a shocking experience. I quickly tossed them and got a set from CARQUEST. They are a gray color wire with boots.

I contacted SoCalConcepts via email and the owner Roy got back to me with this info:
"they are 7mm plug wire and its yellow with red and black cross traces the ones I make where commin in the 40's and 50's the only thing that changed is the boots for the mid 50's and post which I can add the choice is yours"
Not sure if I will buy them as he wants $65.
YNZ does not make wires....FYI
