Does anyone know where I can get a complete wiring harness(bumper-bumper)for my '48 Canopy at at a reasonable price. The ones I've come across so far average between $400-$600. When I had my '49 3100 in 1980 I bought one through J.C. Whitney for under $75. I realize that was 22yrs. ago but, darn. I wish Whitney hadn't dropped their early vehicle parts. :confused:

I used a harness from Saint Wire and Cable in Wis. I've had it in my cpe since 97 and no problems very similar to Painless Wire. If I remember correctly the one I bought a couple of years ago for my truck cost about $250 for an 18 circuit harness. Their ph # is 888-994-9913 or e-mail [email protected]

If you do not need to match-up to non-stock accessories (other than alternator and/or turn signals), it's hard to beat Chevy Duty for price and quality (might be still under $100). Their harness is color-coded and comes with adequate instructions.

If you have the time graft a 80's GMC/Chev to your system. I just did it, cost me a total of $12 Canadian. It's not for the purest and it doesn't look "pretty". I doesn't look bad either.

Welcome to Stovebolt Kahless21!

I got my harness from Rhode Island Wiring in Kingston. They do only original harnesses and have some ready to go and also will build you a custom harness.

Is your Canopy Express a half ton or one ton?
