Wiring harnesses

First thing i did when is signed up, (as im a new guy to the site), was search a few things. One thing that i couldnt find what i was looking for, was wiring harnesses. Is there anyone who has used the Universal Wiring harness from LMC? Or, if you rewired your truck, what did you use? I pulled all the wires from my donor truck, and found that although in much better shape than mine, they were cracked, corroded, and had been gnawed on by a pack rat in a couple places. I dont want to spend $500 on wiring, yet i dont want electrical problems either.

On a different note, those of you that had base models like me, how did you go about adding A/C?

What year truck ?

I recommend that people not only stay as far away from LMC as possible for anything but,buy this quality harness

Centech Online Wiring and Automotive Accessories

There are few others but they are more expensive and offer less

Thanks, ive ordered from LMC in the past, yes, thier customer service sucks, and it took me almost 6 months to get my carpet.

Im sorry, i will add my 'toys' to my sig. The truck in question is a '77 F-150 Ranger stepside. Impending re-wire (main holdup), and incoming ZF-5+
400+ horse 460 which is now sitting at 471 cid (soon to be 521 i hope)

Hehe, sorry bout that, i got in a habit of calling the older ones stepsides, as when you mention Flareside ppl assume it is of the 92-97 body style Flareside would be more accurate anyway as i no longer have steps on it anyway.
