Question Need a Wiring Harness...HELP

I'm about to undergo a complete electrical overhaul on my '79 f100.

Question being is where can I find a NEW, I repeat, NEW complete wiring harness from headlights to taillights and everything in between.

I saw one in LMC but I'm looking around for a better price than almost half a grand.

Thanks y'all

I've tried them, I just haven't called them and get a price to get a kit built yet.
They were my first choice

Go with Ron Francis here:
Ford Powered EXPRESS Wiring System-Ron Francis Wiring $429.95
Ford Powered ACCESS 24/7 Wiring System-Ron Francis Wiring $499.95

Or Centech here:
Ford Wiring Harness Kits $395.00

Personally, I think the Ron Francis ones are the nicest, but I only have actual experience with the Painless harness. When I rewire my truck I'm going with the Ron Francis Access 24/7 (the second link).

I'm deciding to go with the painless kit and just do it all myself if it seems "Painless". I've always been a fan of theirs and have used them a couple times.

But no cruise for me, my truck is more street rod than anything.
