Wiring Harness for my 54

What is the best and easiest wiring harness to install in my truck. It is a street rod so it will have all the modern updates, electric windows, stereo, a/c, led's inside and out, etc,,,

Thanks

I used American Auto wire and had no problem with it. Clearly marked and an assortment of options.

Re: Wiring Harness for my 54

EZ wire 21 here too. right size wires, labeled every 6 inches. pretty good instructions and I always got the owner on the phone for questions I had. Even with the kit I still purchased another $250 in looms, connectors, additional relays, switches, etc. I am glad I did not buy a kit with the end connections made up I ended up shortening just about every loose wire in the kit. comes set up for standard GM columns, dimmer, and ignition switch. Lots of detail on the install in my build thread. There is also a guy named Horvath (google it) that has details on his AD install and lots of good information and links.

Don't think he was ever a member, I stumbled across his site researching relays. http://www.alanhorvath.com/54chevy/index.php#
