I have bought harnesses for two trucks from LMC. Don't know who makes them but they were just like stock, fit perfectly, and appeared to be of good quality. They had all the right colors and connectors and no mods were necessary. Plug and play.

after doing a bunch of reading and talking to a buddy who owns an auto electric shop I went with the American Autowire kit. Not the cheapest but the quality looks great, it just came in yesterday. hopefully I will install it in the next month.

Having picture uploading problems, I will add a few later.

I am also just finnishing a build on a 72 stepper with upgrades like power windows, power seats, power doors, and dual electric fans. All have their own fuses in the fuse panel. I purchased ours from M&H witch is the same as american autowire. Extreamly happy with it. WES
