    I drove over 600 miles to Kentucky in mine...then wheeled it for several days and drove over 600 home to northern Wisconsin...more than enough for a stock drivetrain truck...

    I am in need of an after market wiring harness for my 67 M715 and was wondering where you located one for yours? I want to install new wiring, with a fuse block. It had been converted to a 12V system by PO. Thanks!

    I used Painless Performance 10102 - Painless Performance 21-Circuit Universal Harness. Everything is included, directions are fantastic, and it worked out very well.

    I just took a look. Do you think the fuse block would work well mounted on the passenger side of the firewall? With the addition of the E brake and everything else under the drivers side, I have run low on real estate for a fuse block of that size. I was going to wire my own harness using marine tinned wire, and two fuse blocks, one per side, but the ease of the painless kit looks good. Just wondering if it would reach everything mounted behind the glove box area.

    Everything would easily reach, plenty of extra length on all the wires. I guess the only thing that they do not include is the wire loom. All the wires are color coded and ink jetted with labels (some require a magnifying glass to see) and I followed it step by step. Everything worked as expected first time around. Couldn't have been more pleased with this kit.

    Al,
    Before you mount the fuse panel to the firewall on the passenger side. Look at the defrost duct mounting area. Space is kind of low over there is my point.

    I flipped my glove box upside down to gain a little bit of room. Maybe even shorten the glove box a few inches might help you.

    Based on the Painless systems I have installed in other vehicles. I have nothing but praise for their products.
    Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.
