    Thanks to a burnt tail light wire and the wrong fuse I'm rewiring my 64. This video is EXACTLY what I needed since I have never done this before. THANKS SO MUCH

      It’s not too bad but it’s tough getting into awkward positions trying to remove and install the harness.

    I’ve put in 2 American Auto Wire harnesses, and they both came with fuses. Both were bought from the factory. No need to go through a third party. Their website is easy to maneuver.

      @@Chickeneyegarage I bought the 1960-66 C10 wiring harness that has factory bulkhead fittings and wiper motor fittings etc. It has upgraded provisions for an HEI distributor, and single wire alternator which I am using. It also has more circuits to add AC, power windows, etc if you want them. It came with all of the fuses and flashers. And extra connectors. It bolted right up, and the bulkhead fittings fit perfectly. New key switch, light switch, which I trimmed down per the instructions, and dimmer switch. It is the best wiring harness I have installed. I’ve done several Painless, and I like the American better. I always order from the manufacturer and I talk to them before I order. I bought both crimping tools for the small single and the larger, (double) connectors.

    The purple wire for neutral safety switch? Or maybe clutch switch -so as not to start it in gear? Awesome video. 👍 ordering a new wiring harness for my 66 now.

      You’re right. I found out later it’s for an automatic transmission truck neutral safety switch. I could probably do the same thing with the clutch so it doesn’t start in gear.

      There’s a bell on the other side of the floor. Push the knob and it sounds like a old school gas station full service bell. It was on the truck when I got it.
