They have the 12 and 21 circuit kits.
If anyone has used them,how simple are they to install?
Thinking of re-wiring my 53 Panlel and was looking for opinions on these kind of kits
Thanks

When I first saw all the wires, it was like OMG what have I got into now.  But, as stated it was an easy install. I did not follow EZ Wiring advice on clipping short at the fuse box wiring I wouldn't use or use later. I removed them just to keep wiring under the dash neater. Other than that I followed their instructions. I would recommend having a good set of wire nipper/crimpers and strippers.

If you use the mini fuse panel just be sure to buy you an extra fuse or two "just in case". Not everyone carries the little mini fuses on the shelf..at least not yet. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 290 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 290 | I too have used the 12 circuit mini fuse in my 1948 1-ton. Made life so easy for rewiring the whole truck.... I'm going to use another one on my next project. I would recommend them for anyone doing a wiring job.

Although i've since found out I could have left it 'as is' on a vehicle this old.....  Like the guys mention and I'm sure you already know,they're marked every 6". Just pay attention to getting good grounds (most electrical fault can be traced to bad earthing)

Can you post a link to the EZ wiring fuse block kit that you are referencing? I'm about to restore a 47 one-ton and your idea sounds attractive.
Thanks,
Joe
