Wiring Harness Question

Hi all,

So I have a 71 F-250 Camper Special Sport Custom with a 360 that needs some wiring help. I've checked out the two packages that painless offers but I am confused with what switches are being referred to exactly with the 14 circuit w/switches packages. Are they just regular switches that are currently in the vehicle, relocation flip switches, or auxillary switches. If anyone can tell me what they think of painless harnesses or are currently using them and can offer advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I did a little research. The version "with switches"(pt 10018) comes with ignition, headlights, etc switches to be installed(not sure if they are universal looking or factory style?). The version without switches (pt 10017) just has pigtail leads to connect to your existing switches(ignition, headlights, etc).

I put a painless switch panel in my race car.
Painless Performance Switch Panels 50506 - SummitRacing.com

Has been great for 14 yrs now. No complaints.
