Awesome truck! I will be following this build. I also love the fact you are keeping the 90's build theme, she will be sweet.

Is there a harness that doesn't use the original end connectors? Mine are pretty hard and corroded in the few I have looked at.

Unless someone like (Ron Frances wiring) has it I don't know if you'll fine a harness that has the ends on it.

1961-1966 Ford F100 Wire Harness Kit - 1961-1966 Ford Truck Part# 510260 - Ford F100 Wiring Harness

I haven’t used this one, but it appears to be the most original style wiring. The description says that new original style connectors and terminals are part of the kit, but I assume you still need to splice them in after you cut the wire to length. I plan on using this when I want open my wallet. It has pretty hefty price tag. This is the cheapest price I’ve seen on this one, a little more on eBay, Summit Racing an other online stores.

That is a pretty sweet kit, but also a pretty healthy price tag!

Good find and it would be handy to have those ends ready to go, but that sure is spendy.

Hi guy's, did some more work on the truck. Needed to drop the front tierod end down below the springs and the previous owner had these crazy welded up rod ends. My machinest buddy took the lead on this and made these really nice machined extentions that screw on then clamp. Also need a adjustable brake pedal rod, he did that too.

Worked on the interior next. Mocked up a console and kick panels out of cardboard, then transfered to wood. After cutting and fitting them, sanded and preped, then sprayed them with bedliner! Looks pretty good.

Also reworked the upper and lower shock mounts to give the shocks a better angle and full stroke after lowering the suspension.
