2 options IMO. Option 1, a generic kit available from many vendors. If your car is still 6 volts just make sure its for a 6 volt system. I have used Rebel wiring kits for 2 different rewires. USA made, good quality, and excellent tech support. There are other universal kits available and most are high quality but some leave a bit to be desired. Option 2, an original specific loom made just for your application. Pricey but original looking. YnZ wiring in Redlands, CA makes excellent looms but others are available as well. I had a tour of the YnZ operation. Very impressive. This is my take but others will have different ones as well.

I second that Bauer Electronics builds great harnesses. Looks original but built for your car if you have accessories.

Given that Ford built no such model, I would suggest that you determine exactly what you are working on. As shown, there are multiple sources for quality harnesses out there, but MAKE SURE you have the correct one. Otherwise, you will end up with irritating problems down the line.
