Wiring ?
Wiring ?
I'm working on my parts list to hibernate in the garage this winter with my 63. For those of you that have done engine swaps, what did you do about the wiring ? My plan... 302 or 351w (undecided). I've got some full Mustang and Maverick wiring harnesses and Duraspark II stuff lying around from previous projects that I'm thinking of using. I'll also be incorporating some of the Maverick/Mustang dash parts into my Slick (gauges mostly). For those of you that like stock or concourse stuff, I don't mean to offend. I just feel that the factory made plenty of "cookie cutter" type cars/trucks. I like mine to be different. That's a couple of my ideas, let me know what you guys think.
SOMETHING WICKED...
THIS WAY COMES !!

It's your truck, and you have to do it how YOU like! There's all sorts here, purist, full custom, and everything in between.
I've got 3 Slicks, in various stages of modification. Well, my 62 is just sitting, it got to the point that I couldn't afford the gas.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive body, but to skid in sideways - body worn out and screaming: Woo Hoo, what a ride!"

I am going to build a wiring harness my 65 slick.
I last wired a 56 chevy with late tilt and custom gauges that started off as an empty shell.
I will say I used to be an instrument technician and ran wiring for water and sewer plants and anything else that used electricity.
I draw a schematic for all the parts and then number them along with the wire color if I use different wire colors.
Then you can add places in the wire to disconnect stuff such as lights, etc.
It is not that bad to do, kind of like paint by numbers.
Regards.

Hahaha, just kidding My Slick is rustier than your Slick! 
I would think anbout a place like EZwiring they have 21 circuit harness's for $165. Not bad for what you get.
I have seen them installed in a few cars and one truck and they are good quality.
check them out. I plan too!
