Are you just doing the dash harness or new wiring for the entire truck?
I am planning on new wiring for the entire truck. I guess I have a few reasons for it. One, I just restored an old Fury and didn't replace the wiring in it. While it's not horrible, I've had a few issues with it, that have given me cause for concern. Two, this truck is somewhat rust and the wiring somewhat brittle. I would just feel better putting a new system in so I don't have to worry about it, especially with the new AC and stereo system going in there.
