Hi guys, I've been swapping emails with Mr. Mustang about their reproduction wiring harnesses but the girl there is not sure about the Tail Light harness (Part# 14405F65). It doesn't list on their website if it's for a long bed or short bed. I've heard in the past that they make quality wiring harness and their prices are better than National Parts Depot but has anybody purchased the Tail Light harness? I have a 65' Long Bed and would hate to order it just to find out it's for a short bed. Can anybody help me? Thanks.

 

The actual tail light harness was limited originally to the space between the rear taillights and a small pigtail that starts up the drivers side. Same harness used on long and short beds. Where they differed between long and short beds was the intermediate harness that travels the length of the frame from below the firewall back to the taillight harness.


You can see pics of an original NOS taillight harness(or two) in my thread here.

I have a long bed (66 F250, but should be the same) as well so I can take a measure of the harness that runs the length of the truck later if Mr. Mustang can tell you the length they offer. Might be something, anyway.

Can you please measure your harness for me. Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Purchased a set from Mr. Mustang several years ago and very pleased with the quality. Pro's, same wire color codes and connecters; matter of unplug the old harness and plug in the new. Installed on the 65 short bed and wrapped excess and used harness clip to secure to frame. Con, if intend adding additional circuits limited to a couple, unless also purchase the dash harness that includes fuse box/panel with junctions blocks for additional circuits. Posting pic's of engine, taillight, headlight, and alternator harnesses.

 

If the dash harness is in poor to sad condition it can be repaired but may find it labor intensive. Posting item in 'Carolina Classic Truck' catalog where they offer an entire replacement harness. I believe the kit is manufactured is the same that supplies Mr. Mustang. Seem to recall other member's posting the link w/ favorable review. Anyhow, food for thought and possibly another option??
