Centech wiring harnesses

I have a 1980 4x4 F-150 that is eventually going to need rewiring. I like the centech wiring harnesses and would like to know if anyone has successfully rewired an 80's model truck using their harness kit.
My truck has a 302, auto, a/c, cab top lights...pretty much basic stuff. If you've rewired your truck, can you give me any tips, tricks, suggestions etc that will make it a little easier?

Thanks in advance,

DS

i came in here to post the same thing but about a 76 f-150 my wireing is so rigged on that thing i am sick of it alot of stuff is replaced with yellow wire and i dont know what is supposed to go where and i know for a fact that the wires comming out of the light switch are not supposed to be warm to the touch. http://www.centechwire.com/catalog/fords/k40f.shtml there is a link to the harness and it is a good price too.

They can be, and everything is ok (sort of). Ford has lots of problems with their lighting wiring being a little undersized, and the connectors at the switch becoming loose. Yours hasn't got hot yet. Sometimes they will get so hot it melts the plastic on the plug.
