1942DodgeTruck Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 I need a replacement wire harness. I found one for $750. Wondering if anyone has found a better deal on one and what a good rout to go would be. I have a 1942 Dodge WC I am restoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Evans Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Have you tried Rhode Island Wiring and Y n Z's supply ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Roberts Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 If you are restoring to like new or perfect condition , then buy a new harness . If you are not so fussy and have a daily driver , replace one wire at a time and save a lot of money . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radarsonwheels Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Wow. Cloth covered heavy guage wire sure went up in price! If this stuff is handmade and indistinguishable from oem it might be totally worth it. Like they said if it isn’t going to pebble beach I’d do it myself with modern wire, maybe spring for some classy cloth loom to keep it all tidy.
