Hey guys, Im about to buy a wiring kit for a christmas present for our trucks.. the truck is not stock with a 5.0 ( 302 ) and aftermarket gauges and 1 wire distributor... will likely put the 1 wire alternator kit on from summit. so the 500 american auto wire kit would be too much fluff and $$$ ... the only thing stock would be the ignition, steering column (67 f250 4 speed floor shift column ) and switches I guess.
my current choices are EZ wire MINI 21 for $135 or Rebel 9+3 kit for $169
I don't even have a radio in this truck.. but I plan on putting a hidden system in as the truck was ordered with out a radio and the dash is flawless with no holes. I have electric fans ( which are on a switch right now and want it wired in correctly )
I want to upgrade my lighting. and probably a AC and Heat under dash at some point.
Which do you guys recommend. Im leaning towards the EZ kit for the extra circuits and their good rep .. of course the $$ is good too.

I used EZ Wire Mini 12. Great kit and all wires are labeled the whole length.

Re: EZ wire or Rebel...
I used a EZ wire kit in a 64 Fairlane a few years ago. What I liked about this particular kit was, it had all black wires but still labeled every few inches. Black wires made it easier to hide.
I just installed a Rebel Wire 9+3 kit in a 67 F100. It seemed to have heaver wires or thicker insulation? It went in without any problems.. I had a couple of questions and Rebel Wire's costumer service was great.
Both were fine.

Re: EZ wire or Rebel...
I used the Rebel Wire 9+3 in my 61 and it was real simple too install. With the three open slots you can dedicate a slot for A/C and use a relay and have the best setup. I've done my fuel pump circuit that way and it works like a dream. Use relays wherever you can and your system will be virtually bullet proof. As a side note: I used a EZ wire on our 29' pickup and it went in just as easy as the Rebel. Both have their advantages with no drawbacks with either one.
