Re: 1956 Chevy Truck Instrument Cluster Wiring HELP

Thank you so much! This will get me going in the right direction. I am thinking I should replace the wiring all together. Can anyone recommend a replacement wire harness that good? I am looking at American Autowire/Painless/EZ Wiring. Just not sure would be the best one to get as far as ease of install and good instructions and of course cost. Thanks again for all your help.

if you are a stock truck then you could easily rewire it by yourself if you have any skills with wiring. especially if you have the original harness to copy from. you can pick up some good strippers/crimpers and some connectors, shrink tube, plugs, different colored wire etc. there are only a few circuits. the generic ones make it easy in that there is a fuse box and the wires say where to put them but you still need connectors, crimpers, shrink tube etc.

I have a few EZ wire kits in service for MANY years and have not blown any fuses!
I just wired a truck with a Speedway brand kit it was either a 12 or 14 circuit kit and was marked very well and had enough wire length for head and tail lights
