I'm wondering if anyone knows of a person or place near Framingham Ma. area who could rewire a 46 ford truck ? I've tried-but it makes me crazy.
Thanks

I recommend investing in a new OEM harness which will come with directions and should be easy to install. The attached thread identifies a couple of manufacturers on the East Coast. I used AnZ in CA and their product with the integrated turn signals was great.

Steve, there are two "Regional, V-8 Clubs" located in MA. One in Auburn and one in Yarmouthport, I would ask around and give one of them a call. Perhaps one Saturday, invite some club members over and with coffee and donuts you can get your car wired.

Get a harness from Tyree Harris They are very easy to install.

It should be fairly simple to wire (I know it doesn’t seem like it!). The above suggestions are good, or if you have a specific question you can always ask it here. Any of the prefabed harnesses should make the job much easier.

I have a 1939-48 Ford manual, I have gotten along ok so far but I need to get my act together.

Re: Local help
 

I found it easier to refer to the Ford manual and draw my own diagram with each function a separate circuit. This also makes it easier when troubleshooting. My truck does not have all the original switches so an over-the-counter harness would not have been especially useful.

As mentioned above and the link VeryTangled listed, Van Pelt diagrams are great.
Buy a correct color coded harness (Tyree Harris is one good suggestion). Once you have the harness, lay it out and label each and every end with a small piece of tape following the diagram from Van Pelt (print them out).
This will familiarize you with the wires too. Now you can begin removing the old wires and installing the new as you go. I was very intimidated when I did my car as this way helped me overcome it. I'm sure others have different suggestions, bottom line is YOU can do it.
