Replace '75 Fuse Block?
My brake lights stopped working, when I was checking fuses I found the clips holding several of the fuses have completely corroded away to the point the fuses (and what was left of the clips) fell out. Is there a replacement OEM type fuse block available or do I need to make my own? New harness?

My opinion is that you install a new fuse block/harness if you plan on keeping the truck for a while. This way, you know what you have. As for the brand, read the different threads on here. I have a 75 also, but I chose to go with an HEI distributor and a 1 wire alternator for ease of wiring. What I am getting at is to do some research and thinking beforehand to determine what you want out of your wiring harness before you order. If you chose to go this route.

Thanks 84espy for your thoughtful response. I do plan to keep this truck, however it is a utility truck that I don't want to invest too much in. Some initial research had complete harnesses at $900+, gave up on that. I ran a new fused circuit from the solenoid for the brake lights and they are now working. The other fuse, for the interior cab and glove box lights I will deal with later.
