154 Wiring harness

[BucketHead]

Does anyone make a wiring harness for the 154?

I've noticed that a lot of the wires on my 154 are in very bad shape....so bad in fact that I believe that replacing the entire harness is a better choice that replacing individual wires.

carter and gruenwald. http://www.cngco.com/oem.electric.html go to this link and look up what you want. I bought one about a year ago. After spending several evenings soldering and crimping and cussing I broke down and bought a complete harness! best thing I did during this restoration job. sorry if the link won't go hot GT

I been thinking of using a long pine board(wood) to have a template so i can use finish nails for each wire to lay them out one at a time then I can make more 154 harnesses in the future. You only have the ignition, charging system, key switch and the lights to do. On a snowy winter night it would be fun next to the woodstove making up a harness while sipping some JD cinnimum apple cider.

HAHAHA. BB, you desire a noble task. Years ago I worked for the superior coach company, AKA the New Bus Company, after an Okie with more money than sense bought it off the Canucks. What you are describing is exactly the way we used to build the harness. Needless to say the company did not last long. The method works well but it is slow and tedious. Of course we seldom have winter long enough for a project like that. Winter down here is measured by the domino or 9 ball game. One time I was in Florida for a CEU trip. My wife and I were in the elevator in our hotel and this young lady got on with us. She asked "where we were from". Which took me by suprise because up till then nobody would speak unless they were going to make a dollar ofn me. I told her we were from Oklahoma. She said in an almost breathless voice. " Oh... Oklahoma! You have seasons in Oklahoma!. I looked down in that pretty blue eye that she had tatooed on her forehead and said in my best drawl.....Why yes ma'am we have seasons in Oklahoma. We have tornado season, drought season, monsoon season, Ice storm season, and grass fire season....... and sometimes they happen at the same time. Bless her heart, that went right over her head. GT
