Cal_gary keep us updated on your project. I have a Sid Beck harness and am waiting to put it in and will start soon. I look forward to watching your install.

Helping a buddy restore a 1951 M-37. We have discussed using an after-market wiring harness or an original reproduction from Vintage Wiring of Maine.
Does anyone know the cost from Vintage Wiring of Maine for a complete wiring harness to include the later style with turn signals included?
Going with the original wiring harness he can later refer to the military manual.
Using the civilian after-market harness neither he nor the next owner will have that capability.

Joe at Vintage is a great guy to deal with. I recall $950 being the price for complete wiring - less the gen:reg harness, rosin douglas double female connectors. You'll need to tell him what turn signal module you plan on using. Pretty much plug and go. The other option is Sid Beck who has some good newer old stock. Because I was dealing with Sid on some other goodies, I bought from him and the price was less. We downloaded the wiring diagram and ended up making our own rear harness because we added some items. It was not a big deal to do - as long as you have the time.

Thanks for the info. How do I get in touch with Sid Beck? Midwest Military at www.midwestmil.com has a wiring harness, complete for $550
