The wiring harness on the truck is pretty lousy as it has been cut, spiced into, etc. I have numerous catalogs from restoration parts sites and have seen wiring harness assemblies, headlight wiring assemblies, etc. available for sale. Will these work for my C60? My truck has a 292 CID, standard heating system, standard lights, dash with all guages (no tachometer), etc. I see no reason why these won't work for me but figured I'd post and see if anyone has ever used the reproduction harnesses?? Any inputs would be appreciated... | | |

Check what alt/gen. you are useing & try to get a harness to match or you will have to modify it.

Thanks for the response.
What I am seeking, however, is feedback from someone who may have purchased a wiring harness for their truck. Did it work? How was the quality? Wire lengths correct? Provided the correct one was ordered, were any modifications necessary? Etc...
Thanks, in advance!! | | |

I pulled out the wires I didn't need and it turned out to be a great investment $180.00 I believe for the harness. A slow process but well worth it.
EZ Wire Harness was the outfit, I called and talked to them they were very helpful.

Most of the OEM wiring was marginal, at best, so I went for a PAINLESS wiring 18 circuit harness for the suburban... took an entire weekend, I work real slow and carefully, I detest doing things twice... and I have the circuits needed for all power accessories, should I wish to add... the wiring is top-notch, 600 volts capacity, all labeled and the tech support was real good and fast, for the few questions I had... A little expensive, but it looks better than factory, and so far reliable...
Good luck!
