wiring harness

[custom cabby]

what would you guys suggest when it comes to replacing the stock wiring harness? i have a 68 f100 and its been spliced into and rigged, so i am thinking i would look into it. but at the same time, i dont want to break the bank with one either. fairly easy and cheap is what i am looking for.

I used an EZ harness in the wife's '47 Chevy & have one for my Plymouth that goes in this winter. Not too pricey either.

I use centech they are very easy to use and come with good directions.Plus the panel is small and the wires dont come in the panel you just use the circuits you need

I used the EZ Wire kit in my last couple of cars. It was pretty cheap and worked out well. Wiring is my weakness so I like to use a kit.

i hope this is not a stupid question but what size system should i use. i am not looking to add a stereo or anything like that. will just be running the same factory options for the truck.

Well I used the EZ Wire mini-12 in my Anglia. I don't have a stereo in there but I have an electic fan and electric fuel pump. I used it because I didn't need the extra circuits and the fuse box is very small. As a bonus, it was also their cheapest kit.

We used the 21 circuit in my dads car because he has a/c, stereo, and other creature comforts.

Cabby,
There are lots of cheap systems avail now but I prefer ones that are already terminated at the fuse box. On Ron Francis & others... u have to terminate both ends which I think is just double work... IMO. Just my .02.

so is the EZ wiring terminated?

I buy rolls of wire, terminals, a fuse block and then I make my own. I enjoy the wiring task. 'Course, all my junk is simple so there isn't too much wiring and even less thinking required. I solder and shrink tube every connection and have never had a failure. A lot cheaper too (that's the main reason for doing it this way).

Yes they are.

i enjoy wiring also. i totally rewired the inside of a mustang once to make it a little more custom but to actually do a block and wire everything up kinda worries me.

Like I said earlier, wiring is my weakness and I don't like to do it. If I started from scratch like Bob W does, I would end up making a mess. Hats off to the fellas that wire them up like that. Another thing I like about the kits is that the wires are labeled all along the length of the wire. Makes it easy for me.
