Today I ordered a Painless Wiring Harness for my '69 F-100 from Jegs. It's a 12 circuit with switches for something like $683. I have supported these sponsers since I bought this truck and will continue, but I did go off the reservation for this one.

People suggest painless because thay have been around longer and they don't know about www.centechwire.com
You could have got a better system for $200.00 less.

That's all welll and good and that may be good on another website.
But If I was an FTE sponsor I would be ticked off if I saw people being sent somewhere that wasn't.
Sponsors keep this site alive... LMC doesn't
Maybe think about that ?
LMC gets their products from the same people FTE sponsors do..
But They (LMC) just take your money
FTE sponsors are helping you out
By suggesting LMC...It's like biting the hand that feeds you.

From 1965 thru 1972, you can use two Mustang wiring harnesses under the hood. The 45/55 and 60 amp alternators used on 1965/72 Mustangs were the same as used on many of the trucks. They both have the same three wire connectors. Trucks and Mustangs used the same exact voltage regulators.
The engine feed looms are also similar on 302 and FE equipped trucks and 1967/69 289/302/390 Mustangs. Trucks and Mustangs use the same temp senders, starter solenoids, oil sender switches, electric chokes, starters, horn relays, voltage regulators, distributors, coils, and some of the same emissions garbage.
The Mustang looms have been reproduced, and are available from FTE sponsors Dennis Carpenter, NPD, and other Mustang restoration parts suppliers. You will have to splice these looms into the truck wiring harnesses.
You can also use the headlamp harness looms from a 1965/68 & 70/72 (not 1969) Mustang. There are different setups, but something is better than nothing. The headlamp plugs are identical, as are the marker lights and some of the parklamp plugs.

take a look at ron francis he has accually been around longer than painless and I prefer his harness to painless. Also cheaper than painless. but it is a prefrence so do a little research befor you drop 600 on a painless kit.
One of the problems with NPD is that you need to buy 3 diffrent harneses to do a compleate truck, which runs about 800, but if you are doing a contours correct you may need to spend the extra cash.
