    I know many seem to think you need to buy an aftermarket wiring harness , as an alternative look at '90's GM cars , some had a "swing down" fuse box that would really work well where space is limited.

    my 50 poncho it was next to the gas pedal above the trans , the new harness ( with ATc fuses ) and block are going to be on the bulkhead high up like a Newer car out of line of sight , I might leave the old panel in just for looks as the cover is neat looking . or I might mount it behind were the radio speaker was at as there is plenty of room to get at it and the firewall is flat there, I am using a 70's GM style style of fuse block , a freind of mine used a late model ford block and hid it under the hood , its dressed up to look like a surge tank

    Pulled all the old wiring out of our shoebox too, what a rats nest, no fuses in the system . So yes am interested in this too.but guess it will be with in reach and just out of sight between column and kick panel.
