Has anyone replaced their original fuse block with a Painless Performance Universal block (P/N 30001) on a 78 or 79 F150. I bought one from LMC and they made it sound like an easy plug and play job. There are several wires that don't match up and I don't know where to put them on the new block. I'm in way over my head on this one.

Search for "Candy Cane" (his truck's name) in the thread title in this here forum.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your response!

I used a Painless fuse block, but re-wired my whole truck. I completed the wiring over a long weekend and made sure to complete one sub-system (front lights, rear lights, wipers, etc) before going on to the next one.

 

I left mine original tying only on the brake and turns and added a power distribution under the hood. I pulled it from a 90's truck and completely re-wired it.
My original was in really decent shape so I didn't want to disturb it. Pulling a complete wire harness is not that bad. Take your time, and stock up on bandaids (edit) and take lots of pictures!

 

I'm not looking forward to it, but I think that will be the next project. Thanks
