Re: 1965 Stepside, The LST Challenge

Well last night was baseball with Owen, double header that was schedule to start at 5pm. We got home after 10pm. Owen had a great set of games and came in as the relief pitcher in the second game when the starter got in trouble in the bottom of the last inning. Faced 6 batters, gave up a hit and a run, but finished with 3 swinging strikeouts to finish the game. They won both games.

Anyway, while trying to decide what to do and not spend a chunk of money, I remembered that when Sunburn got totaled, I pulled the entire wiring harness out of it. It was a universal 21 circuit mini wiring harness by EZ Wiring that I got off ebay. It worked good in Sunburn, but is really overkill for what I have in mind for this truck.

Here is what I found in the box when I pulled it out:


It's free, so that solves the big chunk of money problem. I will go thru it and pair it down to what I need and can use and just terminate the un-used wires at a terminal strip so it I need to use them later I can. At this point the plan is to replace the under dash harness only with this one. I will need to buy a few connectors and terminals to do what I am thinking, but that is far more affordable than a complete new factory fit harness or even another smaller universal harness.

I guess my next step is to pull the complete factory under dash harness out of Old Blue and see what its going to take to make this work.

Stay tuned...
