The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay What wiring harness did you use?

Hi all. Got the 60 on the road again and realized I really need to replace the 52 yo wiring. I have been searching what others have used but couldn't find a thread that listed more than a couple manuf. It looks like Painless is high priced but seems like a nice kit.
Lectric has a great site with lots of info on their kit. A little less than Painless. Looked at their custom update series as my truck has hei,one wire alt. Vdo gauges etc.
Rebel wiring is really inexpensive but had no info on their kits that I could find.
I am leaning towards Lectric but if Rebels kit is good I would consider it for the price.

Any comments , stories , links would be great.

i used Lectric and couldn't be more pleased

+ 1 for Lectric. I like that they give a lot of info on their product.

What is the cost of the Lectric for a 1950 3600 6V ?? How does that compair to what JC sells?

Didn't look at jc whitney.

Here is Lectics site.

Used ez wire on my 49 f-1.Had good info,workes fine.Also got it on e-bay for 20$. It was new,no one else bid.

I also used ez wire. It was easy!

I used A Hot Rod Wires harness in my '56 and like it so well I bought another for my '54 GMC project.

i've used 3 rebel kits.i like them and have one on the wall for my 47 1.5 ton going in this winter. can't beat 'em for the price, and they go in easy.

I used the EZ Wiring kit.My only problem was the wire print is very small for these old eyes. I did notice American Autowire is having a 12% off sale beginning 11/23. They are the most expensive to buy though.

I have a painless kit for my 46. The instructions are clear and it comes with almost everything you need, and for mine it plugs directly into the GM column, headlight switch, etc. It's super easy and I don't think the cost is very high for what you get!

I used a Painless Universal Truck harness I bought on E Bay for $ 100.00 ( Brand New ). Worked great and good Tech support when you get stuck.

Lots of good replies. I am going to check out EZ wire . I suppose Painless , Rebel or others may be better but Ez seems good. They show the crosslinked polyethylene wire in their kits. Hotrod wires looks good as well.

Around $200 for Ez - $270 for Hotrod wires so not bad.

I got a set from Speedway. Everything was well labeled and laid out and good instructions. Since this was my first time and I was building the truck from scratch (new engine, column, heater/AC, wipers, etc) I had a few questions which Speedway's tech folks were glad to answer.

We use the factory-fit/factory-correct wiring harnesses, manufactured by:

I bought a replacement stock wiring harness running an alternator for my 55.2 Chevy 3100 from American Classic Truck Parts. Haven't installed it yet, but the intstructions are not very good. I don't think I would recomend this harness to anybody.

i've used a stock replacement harness from there and would not recommened it unless you are going for stock-original. basically no instructions.

Ron Francis has some good stuff they will send you a catalog thats pretty impressive and very informative.

As far as discounts I was reading in the H.A.M.B. if you belong to that forum and mention their name you can get a 10% discount from Rebel if you mention it. Maybe they should do that here.
