I'm back!

After 680000 miles, I sold Goldie. 7 years later, I needed a work shop truck and I found Agatha. She's an ugly beast that was sitting in a field. Abused and neglected, she just needed someone to love her. Bought in January, moved in Feb. She got her eyes did, new shoes, tank, backside, rod bearings, and working on new

wiring. She got the wrong face-lift for a 58, but I like it.

Welcome Agatha! What are all the pertinent details of configuration? Any daytime pics? I love the cab lights!

Welcome back and hello Agatha, looks like it's a pretty solid truck.

Nice truck! You weren’t kidding about the wiring...

That wiring is scary indeed! I hate wiring so I'd be tempted to get a wiring kit but if you are better at it than me you won't need one.

Looks like someone already rewired. They just didn't know neatness counts. Or they were paid by lineal feet. If you cut all the lengths you can probably rewire another truck.

That is my aftermarket wiring kit. And, that picture is of my pre run. I actual have very little wiring length to cut off. Roughly about 10 inches from all dash parts, need some for taillights, cut alot from headlights. My OCD on wiring will make it nice. If I try too hard, it'll end up like how I route and tie aviation harnesses. Thankfully, alot of electrical tape will hold it rather than tying it like planes. 😆

I figured that's what you were up to. You have to line out and separate your destinations. Then make sure and terminate

The spiral wrap stuff for trailers works pretty well.
