F100
I know it's a long shot but I'm needing help with my f100 would anyone in the east texas area care to help me finish a passion project for my father before he is no longer here on earth to enjoy it? I need help rewiring a 1958 f100 with a 1974 351 cleveland. I somewhat installed a painless performance wiring kit I'm doing what I can to finish the rewiring but I am not the best at it and need someone with more experience to give me some advice and or help. My father has cancer and I'm trying to finish this project that he started with his father before he is no longer here. Any advice would be amazing!

I hate to say it man but people have their own things going on, I find it really unlikely a stranger is going to help you finish your project for free…
Get on YouTube and start learning. A 58 F100 isn’t a difficult electrical system, at all.
Headlights, Taillights, Brake Lights, Turn Signals, Alternator, and Ignition will be enough to get you going down the road. You can mock up the wiring diagram for that stuff on a bar napkin (or find lots of examples online).
Honestly I’d start with just getting it working and then replace and upgrade the harness piece by piece (rear half, front half, interior, engine bay). That’s how I did my old Comet, but just getting it enough to legally run down the road isn’t really a huge deal. I sometimes think the full-bore “Painless” harness is more confusing than it needs to be for a newbie.
