65 ford help

I'm new to the site....anyone point me in the right direction on a few items? I'm looking for a wiring harness for my '65 ford f100 and I would like to know where to go for some suspension help in lowering my ride. I'm only talking about a couple in the rear and about 3 in the front....... I like lowered, not rediculous and unusabley low. Only catch is that my front has 73-79 f100 and has disk braks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, if anyone knows of a good body shop in the Nashville area, let me know.
thanks,
Brotherbuzz

For the wireing harness try LMC, As far as the lowering part check out you local tire shop they may have some ideas, You could also look in to useing a smaller tire to lower the front, and sine I am in oregon I can't help with the paint part.

Most harnesses come complete except for the run to the back ,tail lights and such and all the majer truck catologs have them..not sure if you have to get drop I beams to lower 3 inches but your front end should be about the same as a stock 65, also i'm in Glasgow , Ky , ABOUT 90 MILES north of you. paint is a tough one, hello neighber ..most of the time a buddy of a buddy will know of a local bodyshop, Word of mouth I guess , Nashville is a big place ....good luck
