Does anybody know of a fairly priced solution for wiring?? I need a wiring harness or will need it for the mopar powered '46 ford pu. I need something that will work for a four headlight system. Any ideas or suggestions??

These guys seem reasonable and are the likely source for my next harness, plus they offer a lot of options for circuit size.

I used an EZ wiring harness for my 36 Plymouth.Bought online for about $165. Easy to install and modify if I needed to.

I prefer the ones that don't use a bulkhead...lots easier to make a clean installation (hide everything) with the "cheap style".

I bought an EZ Wiring kit from ebay for something like $115. It has worked great so far.

When I did my 38 I used the wiring harness from a donor car (79 Newport). Car cost me $100, got a good running 360, trans, rear end, wiring, you name it. I stripped that car for everything I could and scrapped it for $50.

Can't get much cheaper than that and the former owner delivered it to my house for that price too.

Great post guys. I was coming on here to ask the same question. I need wiring for the 56 and was looking at Painless wiring. Seemed easy enough, but I didn't understand why they do it for the GM tilt steering, and other options. No mopar stuff. I couldn't find what would work best for my application.

Most aftermarket steering columns (Ididit and such) used in streetrods are GM style.

My harness was designed for a GM column, but I tweeked it for use with a seprate ignition switch and an old accessory turn signal switch.

Keep in mind that many of the tilt columns used in Mopar products are made by Saginaw and therefore are indentical to GM in many aspects. The tilt columns I have from a Chrysler and 81 Dodge pickup were both made by Saginaw and I used a GM tilt column repair manual to dismantle them.

...run the wires through a hole...

Something to consider for future maintenance. I did a complete re-wire on a friend's '60 El Camino. Took my time and ran the wires low and out of sight. Used existing hole on the core support and wired it all up nice and pretty. Then he decided to replace the core support and they just cut the wiring off.

Guess who's going to get called to fix it when they are done?
