I am in the process of pulling off the front fenders of my ;47 Chevy pickup so that I can change out the engine. It could really use a new wiring harness at the same time.
Where do I look for a good wiring harness. What is a reasonable price. Tips, helpful hints.
Am I even posting in the right section.

Thanks for your help in advance | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | I bought the one offered by ClassicParts.com $150 and you can select alternator or generator options. Comes with turn signal wiring and pretty good directions. I have had zero issues with mine. Most options will be plastic coated wire, original cloth is available but in the $600 range. Lots of alternatives from street rod vendors in the $400 range. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 165 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2013 Posts: 165 | Thumbs up for classic parts switched to 12v with alternator, when back in very easily!

Thanks for your help in advance Are you swapping to another 6, or do you want a V8? This will make a difference in what kind of harness you use. I used a Painless harness but mine was a hot rod application. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 |
