where to get wire harness?

where can I buy new harnesses? I had 73 style tail lights and want to go to 79 style with the turn out bulbs not the solid steel back ones

try the sponsors, or LMC truck, bronco graveyard etc. i think you mean the wire pigtails at the rear taillights, right? the entire harness is not made YET. you can also get the Painless brand universal type to replace all of the wiring in it.

The Rear harness extention going to the tailights, etc, should be found easy in the wreckers. Should be plug and play to your frame harness. Or easier yet, get four new lamp sockets, and splice them into your existing wiring. No guarentee that the wrecking yard harness would have good sockets anyway.

This diagram here should be of some help too.

Hope this helps
