Re: Complete wiring harness

I bought a complete harness that was a factory replica and it was plug and play easy!
There's other harnesses on the market that you can buy, but you you will have to mess around with it.
What are your plans for your truck? power windows and LS swap or closer to stock?

By the way, thought I'd mention that a 56 is not an Apache...technically speaking. An Apache has four headlights. Your 56 is a Task Force. Lots of us know what you mean, so not a big deal... just thought I'd share this with you. Cheers

See this ebay ad... contact Seth the seller, and he will figure out what you need and make his suggestion. This ad may not be exactly what you want, but he makes other harnesses... has been making them for 40 years! They are beautiful!

Re: Complete wiring harness

A lot depends on what modifications you plan to do. How many circuits do you think you need?

Ron Francis Wire Works (https://www.ronfrancis.com/) has nice stuff, excellent quality wire, is upgardeable and can be customized to your application. I bought their basic kit over 20 years ago and have had zero issues with it.
