I need to rewire my '52 chev. panel, & I'd prefer to keep that original too. I know there's wire harness' out there, but I don't know if they have correct wire & they're expensive. | | |

less money, you might consider Jim Carters
premium set. Its made by another well known
company but at a lower cost for Jim Carter.
Its the yellow cloth wire with markings as
original. Figure cost at around $400 at Jim
Carter and even higher for R.I. If this is
more than you had planned on spending for a
original looking harness then you can still get
a very nice harness for $100--just not cloth.

I originally went with the 100 dollar harness from Chevy Duty for my 52. It was easy to install and worked fine. After a couple of years i decided i wanted a more authentic look and bought the premium harness from Jim Carter which is made by Vintage Wiring of Maine. I think the quality is good and it looks nice but but had some problems with the install. A couple of the wires were mislabled and the instructions refered to illustrations which were left out of the kit. Also, turn signal wiring is not included with that harness. | | |

made by YnZ. Maybe YnZ and Vintage Wire are
one in the same or Jim Carter jobs it out
to the company that meets his price point. Cecil.... | | |

This is a good education. I just want to have as few as problems as possible.
It looks like YnZ may be local to me. I will do some more research before I buy.
Thanks again for the help.
That's why I keep coming back! | | |
