I got the Wiring harness from Chevy Duty for $99.00 and ordered the fuse
block from Painless for about $129.00, I mated then together, but have
not started the truck yet.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [oletrucks] American Autowire -- Classic Update wiring kit??
Well...it's time to stop waffleing and put some money down for a wiring
harness...why is this so difficult??
It's for my '49 Panel...typical mild street rod...350/350 with basic
lights, radio and A/C..possibly power windows (at a later
time)....nothing wild/out on the edge...and it's being put in by an
"electrically challenged" hobbyist. Although I was able to replace the
the basic 6-volt stock harness (with a Chevy Duty kit) when I first got
the panel and before I took it all apart for the restore....but all that
confidence seems ages old.
I'm eyeing the Classic Update kit from American Autowire...it's
specifically for the AD trucks....there was an article that touted it as
easy to install and flexible enough for my needs....handles a variety of
gauges, extra circuits etc....the issue is the price....they want
$439.....for a wiring harness!!!
Now, I'm thinking that if I buy a cheaper kit I might end up paying that
much anyway with frustration and extra parts, connectors, and more
frustration etc. The Painless, Ron Francis, universal 12 and 18 circuit
kits are considerably cheaper.
What are your thoughts??...is this kit worth it??
