I have a stock 1949 Chevy 3/4 ton truck that is an original daily driver. The wiring is bare in alot of places. Can I install a new wiring harness properly as the truck sits, fully assembled? Who sells the best wiring harness available? Thanks, Dean

you can install a new harness anytime, with a fully functional truck is best cuz you can keep checking as you go, replacing each section as the old is removed .... any of the vendors will have good kits, might not want to go the absolute cheapest, but also no need to spend a bundle, the stock 49 wiring is simple and straight forward

I just re-wired my '47, got everything I needed from Patricks Antiques. Wires are numbered and come with very good instructions. I went with the stock harness, no problems

Hi,if you buy a new old look cloth covered wiring harness they will have a tracer colour running thru them. Maybe yellow with a red tracer or black etc. Sometimes you can pick up the colour from old harness, behind insulation etc. Usually they are well numbered, and theres not that many wires. regards
