I have a 1957 chevy truck doing a frame off restoration. Using stock gauges, putting in AC, Power steering, power brakes, newer reproduction radio. Need advice on what brand wiring harness to buy. Would like to keep it around $200 or less if possible. Oh yea, have an Ididit steering column with shift & tilt. Am a first-timer and need something easy to install. Thank you! David
PS - I see the EZWiring systems in the magazines - 21 circuit for $185. Any good?

EZ is good, and cheaper direct - and Painless is good too at about the same price

I used a Painless kit in my build - went great and I am totally new to auto electrics ! Picked mine up on E Bay for a good price. Has all the extra circuits for windows / locks / stereo / AC etc.

This was very thoroughly discussed here recently. If you run a search you'll find there are bunches of opinions on this.
