Universal Wiring Harness??

I have a 1978 ford f150 with a rebuilt 460. I am looking for a wiring harness that will just replace the stock one. i want to completely rewire. Does anyone sell one of these? if so, is there a link to it?

i was looking at this: 12 Circuit Universal Wiring Harness

it is the most basic and the cheapest, but i have a few other things like a dome light and a lighter. i may add an electric fan and fuel pump later down the road. would it be better if i just bought the 24 circuit harness, instead of buying the 12 circuit and adding on to it?????? I dont really know what the future holds for that truck. any thoughts would be great....thanks

Only thought I would have is I don't like doing things twice....so if 12 is not enough get the bigger one and then you have no issues later on down the line.

Leave the fuses out and tie wrap the wires up out of the way.

Its the custom Ford Harness K-40F. You will need to call them and tell the guy what you want. I have one and it was easy to install.

The guy needs to know what year of steering column, if you have idiot lights or gauges, and if you are running duraspark ignition or DUI 1 wire, and if you are using a 1 wire alternator or not. He can also do whatever else you want if you need him too for an extra charge.
