50 chevy wiring

I am planning on rewiring my 50 chevy. I have been reading and looking at whats avaliable for wiring kits. What do you guys recomend from experience. I am thinking maybe a universal 12-18 circuit.

I used a Painless kit...super easy, but pricey compared to some of the others. Unless you plan on running cruise control, PW, PL, and a bunch of other accessories, you don't need an 18 circuit harness.

thanks for the link

 

i put a Painless universal 12 circuit kit in my 58 F100 last yr. i'm also about to install another Painless kit in my wife's 54 Chevy.

i bought them on ebay for $150 each.

these are great kits.

 

I bought an EZ wire kit and about the same time my friend bought a painless and I think mine was a little easier than his. I really liked it and it had a ton of options that I didnt end up using. It was $125.00, my only advice is to start over completly dont try and mix the stock stuff with the new stuff and take your time. The first time you open the box its a little nerve-racking just take it one step at a time and think about the best placement before you get it all set up. I saw a good idea in another friends 41 ford, had a rear mounted battery , so he made a wood panel in the trunk and has all the fuses right next to the battery, its way easier to work on than trying to squeeze up under the dash if your stuck somewhere with a fuse issue.
