The wiring will be similar to your '52 click here Some of the fellas on this site may lead you to better diagrams for your truck. Good luck with your wiring. Greg

You'll save a lot of headache if you buy a good harness. A "good" harness will have marked wires with a diagram AND written instructions telling you where each wire attaches. Cheapest isn't always best.

All I needed to install my harness was a screwdriver & a couple of extra joints in my back to get under the dash.  The harness I bought had all of the connectors installed in the correct place. It was as close to idiot proof as anything I've seen.

You enjoy doing the extra yourself and I'd rather pay a little extra to get the BS part done for me. Lazy? Who said lazy? Lazy like a fox.
