The Jegs kit is a 18 circuit universal that you cut to fit. But it appears it has all the terminations you will need for custom gauges. It will not have the plugs you need if you are using a stock factory gauge cluster. $259.99

If there are modifications to your truck, such as different gauges, then the universal kit makes sense.

I hope this helps.
Personally I prefer to have the ability to cut and trim mine to fit. Just like I always buy spark plug wires, the "pre-fit" ones always seem to have too much excess wiring that ends up being a little tacky. It is just my opinion, but I do like doing a lot of the fit and finish stuff myself, I belive it comes out looking a lot nicer. I am fairly experienced with automotive electronics so I normally don't get too intimidated by it, and actually I enjoy it more often than not.

TheDark1: I will be doing a complete re-wire of my '65, and will post pics and info in my build thread. It may just be a while before I get that far.
