6 Volt Wiring Harness
OK, so I always come here first for advice....
I know that MOST of you have switched to 12 volt... BUTT I want to stay 6V stock... I'm not a purist, but that's my general rule.
SO, does anyone have experience or can recommend a good source for a wiring harness.????
1953 6V Positive ground, flathead 8....
Thanks in advance.

MAke sure you use 1gauge or 0 gauge cables for your battery to starter and battery to ground cables...

I got my 6V harness about 4 mo ago from Mac's......$240, (dash and underhood) made in USA too. I'm very happy with it....fit perfect, great quality. I ran my own light wires, they are pretty simple. Don't forget lots of ground straps!

Another tip:
Don't rip out the old one totally and then try to put in the new one. Take out the old one a little bit and then put in the new one, take out a little more of the old one and add in the new one and so on. That way you will be able to see and remember where what wire goes where....

Abe...
THANKS for the advice......
However, I ripped every last worn, brittle, broken, wire out about 4 years ago when I took Mater down to the frame....
So it's been four short years since I even saw any wires.
It did strike me as odd how Mr. Ford ran the wire for the heater blower. Butt it IS a 58 year old truck after all...............
Now where exactly did I put that light switch four years ago?
Let the fun continue.

This thread is 9 years old, and its title was about finding a replacement 6-volt wiring harness. You'll get more help if you go back and start your own thread. Post a picture, and we'll be able to tell you.

Hi Doc. You're too fast. I realized that and deleted everything and told the new guy to do the same, start a new thread....
I hope you're staying safe and healthy as you are doctoring.
