1948 f-6 Rewire help/challange

I 'm rewiring my F-6 and purchased a new harness that was recommended by a user here. The harness has me stumped. I've detailed out what I think is everything to help get this truck rewired. I know this is asking a lot and everyone has been very helpful. I wouldn't expect this for free. I can send some money via PayPal for wiring instructions.
The harness is here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231642359043?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I've pulled all the wires I think will be potentially be used and have a matrix with each numbered. I also have pictures and a wiring diagram with all the parts numbered. I need help with this harness as it has too many circuits, etc.

The harness is grouped by the mfg into three areas; Front Section, Tail Section, and DASH & Steering.

Tail Section (TS) Connect
TS1 Left Back-up
TS2 Trunk Light
TS3 Left Rear Turn
TS4 Dome Light
TS5 Fuel Pump
TS6 Right Rear Turn
TS7 Left Tail Park
Brake????

Front Section (FS)
FS1 Right Front Signal
FS2 Left High Beam/Rt High Beam (tied together)
FS3 Left Front Signal
FS4 Horn
FS5 Left Low Beam
FS6 Left Front Park/Right Front Park (tied together)
FS7 Temp Sender
FS8 Oil Sender
FS9 ALT Power
FS10 Tachometer
FS11 IGN Switch Start
FS12 Solenoid Power
FS13 ALT Exciter
FS14 Coil Pos

Dash and Steering (DS)
DS1 Fuel Gauge
DS2 Headlight POWER
DS3 Left Tail Park
DS4 Left Front Park
DS5 Brake Switch Power
DS6 Left Signal Ind
DS7 Cig Lighter
DS8 Left Backup
DS9 Oil Sending
DS10 Gauge Power
DS11 Wiper Power
DS12 Temp Sensor
DS13 Highbeam Ind
DS14 Right Signal Ind
DS15 Brake Switch Power
DS16 Tachometer
DS17 Hazard
DS18 Left Rear Turn
DS19 Right Rear Turn
DS20 Turn Flasher
DS21 Horn Switch
DS22 Brake Switch/3rd Brake (tied together)
DS23 Left Front Turn Signal/Left Signal Ind (tied together)
DS24 Ignition Switch ACC
DS25 Ignition Switch Coil
DS26 Ignition Switch Start
DS27 Ignition Switch IGN
DS28 Switch Power
DS29 Right Front Turn Signal/Right Signal Ind (tied together)
DS30 High Beam IND
DS31 Left Low Beam
DS32 Left High Beam
DS33 Dimmer Power

Pics on this and next post. Thank you! And I will pay.

I won't go through the whole harness but here is a start...in the TS section, all wires listed should be straightforward with some clarification. The Left Backup also serves as the Right Backup since both come on at the same time. This is also true for the Left Rear Park and the Right Rear Park. As for the "Brake???", brake lights are actually the turn signals which are energized without the blinking. Any wires that are not used can be taped up and left in the bundle...there may be a time that you need another circuit and it's nice to just pull the wire out of the bundle instead of having to run another.

What Charlie said, plus, if you're going to use a 1 wire alternator instead of the generator, do that swap now. The regulator is internal and you'll eliminate a bunch of stuff to mess with. There's plenty of diagrams on the internet on how to set up a 1 wire alt.

The wiper motor being vacuum, you can wrap the wiper wire into the under dash bundle.

Good information. Any idea on the power and engine connections? Those are tripping me up. The coil, ignition, starter, volt regulator, etc. Thanx

chrislynn5,

Where are you located? Maybe there's an FTE'er nearby that can help, if you buy the beer.

Ideally, not to be lazy, I'd love to match harness # to Truck # (via the information matrix). Then even I could follow the directions

I would love to get some assistance. And I am offering to pay
My hope is that this wiring harness is usable, etc.

The Alternator (specific for Ford F-6 with bracket etc) should be here by tomorrow. Though rain might be coming...
