Wiring Harness (info)

The main wire connectors at the firewall are missing the retainers and would like to know if any member's have came across a source for them, or suitable replacement: Seem to recall they are a narrow open end metal rectangular clip?
*** Found a source for, either a direct replacement, or close enough, main harness at firewall retainer.



Need to make repairs, or replace the dash harness on my 65 CC, seem to recall the harness is the same for all F series trucks? I came across a new dash harness:C5TZ-14401-BF believe for N series, curious if the harness would work on the F series?

Comments/Suggestions appreciated!

I looked at that harness also. If you look in the wiring manual and compare it to the pickup wiring it's not even close. Since the N's were tractor trailer the turn signal plugs are different and the firewall plug is different also I couldn't make out any provision for an electric horn.
You could possibly make it work but after thinking about it I decided there just wasn't enough sugar for a dime there. But it is a bargain.

Confirms my opinion; that harness is a heck of a bargain but do not believe I want to 'cut and paste' electrical circuits which is the problem I am having with the dash harness now.

I thank you for the input!
