Been watching your videos including older NPD videos and you guys are great fun to watch and learn from. I parked my 72' F-250 Camper Special 18 years ago and now I'm fired up to get it running!:) Keep up the great work and look forward to many more shows to come!
Like your show guy
Keep the vids rolling ty
Omgawd that wiring harness is awesome. I need that for my 72 Ranger XLT…
Great video, these same guidelines work for any car or truck, I wanna do this upgrade on my '69 Falcon wagon when I...get...it...running and driving :)
I'm now very tempted probably next project or years to come
Looking forward to the installation of the new harness. Especially how you make the connections to the dash of you aren't going aftermarket.
That is the cool thing. All the connectors are factory connections. The only terminations you have to make are in the lights.
@@AutoRestoMod Very good to know, thank you! I was having issues with the starter solenoid in mine, and when I got to thinking about it, I think it's going to be an off frame restore... you know how it goes... Well, it would be easier to start if I rebuild the carb, so I might as well just do the whole top... and since that's off, might as well do the bottom.... which would be easier if I take it out.... and so since the engine is out I might as well rebuild the trans and rear end.... and as long as all of that is off, I might as well give the chassis a good going over... which would be easier with the cab off.... so I might as well get the body done too..... stupid Solenoid.... but at least I might as well put in a new harness while I'm at it...
@@root1657 hahaha in the middle of one of these restorations right now. "im just gonna change the front end suspension" is now a complete frame off re-build. 11 weeks in and got a couple more to go. Just installed a wiring harness as well, I went with Painless wiring harness instead of american autowire, pretty similar it seems though.
I had to get the painless wiring harness for my 68. And it was a universal as that was the only one I could find for it. As to my crimper. I have a ranching type as it won't over crimp my connectors.
And the area behind the gauge panel on my 68 looked like a birds nest. I made it look a lot better when I put in the new harness.
Nice work!
Just an fyi, the harness retainer you broke under the hood comes out fairly easy from the bottom with needle nose pliers. But I guess you just planed on replacing it, "While you're there" 🤣(sorry couldn't help myself).
GREAT SHOW!!! Keep up the GREAT work!
LOL yeah, You can use a plastic forked trim tool too. I was hurting pretty bad standing there on my sprained ankle so I was kinda in a scorched earth mood LOL. And that while I'm here? Killin me. KILLIN. ME. =D
I feel your pain bud, I have a bad knee that's kept me from doing anything to my F100. I'm scheduled for knee replacement on the 30th, once I heal I have no doubt that I'll have a few Hundred "While we're there" moments LOL.
I used their kit for my 53 ford f100. Very nice kits. Make sure you solder the connections for the front and rear lights.
We'll go over that in the install video.
Had all kinds of electrical issues with my 72 , wiring was a rat nest so started to replace it. then the dreaded while I'm here kicked in
That while I'm there will bite you!
You had me dead at The Blaire Witch Project scene. 😂😂😂😂
Nice video, Jeff.... I've been thinking about rewiring my truck for quite some time now... I'm the 3 rd owner of my F-100 and was lucky that no one had butchered the harness...one of the previous owners had added an aftermarket Am/Fm/Cassette player, and a CB radio,, BUT didn't do any splicing...They ran the connections right to the Fuse box and to the Battery...
My biggest problem with my wiring has been,, most of the Plugins in the engine compartment...The plastic is very brittle and trying to take them apart without them braking is impossible ...Thus,, I've had to splice in replacements over the years, that I've scrounged up in salvage yards... and you can tell it right away....The harness is a mess...
Also, I've noticed under the Dash that the wiring is very, very stiff and no longer pliable....
SOooo, "while I'm Here"...... This is going to be my next project...lol
I'll be tuning in for your new harness Install video.... Love the out takes you throw in at the end, also....
This kit offers soooooo many possibilities! It won't look stock, but it also won't catch fire from a brittle wire casing...
I have a duct tape and bailing wire 72 f100.....so this is a perfect video for me. Mine had the ignition switch hanging loose from the dash. I tried to reinstall it, only to find it grounded to the dash and started to melt the wiring harness. A brief inspection revealed hacks and splices a plenty. :( I took the truck out of service until it's rebuilt. It's called a project for a reason i guess.
Concurs
Thanks for the video's! Are you going to do a follow-up on install of the wiring? Thanks
Yep, in two weeks we'll have that installed.
Do you have a source that makes frame-off restoration frames with suspension, brakes, steering, etc. for F100?
Lookin good Jeffro! Wireing is alot like plumbing.
No its not.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Jeff I love the video and I'm doing the same thing to my 68 f100. But I have run into a sang. I'm finding out that the amp is no longer supported by the kit. In order to keep the factory style usage and look and trying to not add any additional aftermarket gauges....What do you recommend doing in place of the old amp meter? Does anyone make a factory style voltmeter for these trucks now?
Rocketmans Classic Cougar has a volt gauge conversion to suit. uses the stock gauge face and mounting. www.rccinnovations.com/index.php?show=menu-volt-all
@@AutoRestoMod awesome thank you, I will look it up.
I’m having a difficult time with my 1979 Ford F100 wiring harness. Much of the people that work in auto stores don’t know. I been told by two people that a wiring harness from a 1972-1979 F100,F150,F350 are all the same and should work. Would you say so? I got the whole wiring harness off a 1973 Ford F100 but I’m looking at a few differences. Like the switch from my 1979 F100 has 10 prongs while the one I took of today from a 1973 has only 6 prongs. Could that be an issue?
Ford changed the connectors a couple times over the years. If I were going to do a harness, I'd go with a complete one from a donor.
Off Topic,,After thought questions here, Jeff.... I know your in the Up-state of S.C.,,, Have you ever been to the "RUN to the SUN" auto show in Myrtle Beach ??? And if so,,, Would you consider bringing your Truck or any other of your Rides down ?? Just thought it'd be neat to see them in person,, Plus You and Cam also...lol
No reply to these is OK... Was just TYPING out loud....
Lst year with taking care of mom we were kinda strapped to the house. With her passing in May, we will be venturing out more. We are looking at these events for 2019: Cruising the Coast in Gulfport MS, Mustang week in Myrtle Beach SC, And I'd like to do a road trip to the Woodward Dream Cruise in the Swagon. I didn't know about the Run to the Sun, we will also look at bringing some cars to that...Cam and I might even stick around. LOL
I’m curious as to why there is what looks to be a Cummins ISM valve cover hanging on the wall at 3:14
Cam, my co-host on Autorestomod was a diesel tech and the valve cover was in the trash...so, one mans trash is another mans treasure...
Tried to see if autokrafters had a chassis harness for my 79 F100 and the icon goes to a dash clip. I'm guessing they don't have one? Or it's a hyperlink error? Anyways great video!
I'd give them a call 800-228-7346. American Autowire has released a kit for those and I bet Auto Krafters carries it it might just be an internet catalog snafu.
@@AutoRestoMod Thank you tons! I'll give them a call for sure. Great vid!
While you're there why don,t we just do a complete frame off resto. just kidding. but really once you have fixed everything, it,s just about gonna be that anyway. i am getting ready to replace the wiring harness in my 67 Mustang .only i am going with a Painless kit.
Man, one thing breeds another on the F100. Being hurt didn't help progress either. Took my ankle a month to get better enough to do pretty much anything but the essentials. Most of the wiring kits are pretty good. We've just gotten real familiar with the American Autowire system and really like the product.
Wut is the orogenal brake lights color at taile light
Nice Hair cut. Really like the truck. Is this still the Colonel Mustard? Maybe a different truck with a new name :-)
Thanks for the kind words! Yep, still the Col.
Brake lights color on 78 ford
Will this work on a 78?
I would contact American Autowire and see if they offer a kit for the '78 yet.
To the top bump lay it low jargon
Big no idea what saying you are.
HAAHAAA!!! You had to get out the truck anyways! Lol wiring harness fail lol
LOL yeah. Hard episode to shoot. I was still dealing with a sprained ankle. Standing...hurt.
Wish the harness was cheaper my ford has some real bad butchering only thing that doesn’t work is brake lights and heater
The replacement stock harness (when available) is about the same cost only advantage is that it is a plug and play.
Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline Media just the price is close to what the truck is worth
