Rewiring Project

Post by 69-er »

My 67 F100 is due for a rewire. I haven't found anything in the way of OEM plug and play harnesses so I'm down to going with a universal/update harness or scratch building the harnesses.

With the scratch build scenario, I looked around and found some Ford terminals but I'm not sure which ones a 67 era truck would use. I don't have access to the truck at the moment so I was wondering if anyone knows what style this year would use. I plan to reuse the plastic connectors but would spring for new ones if those are available.

Thanks!

Larry when you say "style" there are many two / three / four wire connections in the harness. I'm not aware of any major change of the type of rubber connectors Ford used from 67' thru 72', (they did revise wiring later in the 70's for EPA pollution control junk.
Here's your "plug and play" Ford OEM harness, (but hang onto your hat for the price):

And here's a company that sells the Ford wiring harness connectors:

Good luck with your endeavor as it's a lot more work than most folks first think. :thup:

Thanks Jeff. Centech was also mentioned. They're very reasonable and it appears to have mostly Ford components except for the fuse box. I'm starting to lean towards this type of universal harness. I've used American Autowire "Update" harnesses before and like the ATC fuses like Centech's. A little bit of harness tape and it will be looking pretty good, I think.

I bought an EZ Wiring universal harness. Bought it from another member in the original packaging for $50! I'm going with mostly aftermarket everything so connectors are not a concern. I'll probably use WeatherPak or DelCity connectors or some such. Haven't installed it yet but I'm very impressed with design and quality. Here's the one I have. https://www.ezwiring.com/product-page/e ... ng-harness
