Does anyone make an aftermarket harness for the lights, like they do for the GMT400's?

I found one from Ron Francis but it's $600. I can throw a lot of butt connectors at it for that price. LOL.

yeah eff that.

I so vaguely recall the Warlock. It's a custom 4x4 model, available in green, blue, black, and red.

From wiki - and I do recall seeing Adventurers - this quote includes some I've never heard of: "Notable models produced during this era were the 1978–1979 Li'l Red Express, the Warlock, the Macho Power Wagon, the Macho Power Wagon Top Hand, Macho Power Wagon Palomino, and the Adventurer."

Back closer to topic, never heard of this one, but it's pretty damn cool:

Awesome! With Don Knotts plugging it hisself.. and some of you may know, Mr. Knotts was also a spokesman for McCulloch racing karts, back in the day. Here's a video clip that is an old promo spot he did for them - ending with the scene y'all have probably seen the still photo of, him with the trophy girl(!) and a twin engine kart.

The whole Don Knotts truck infomercial. They wouldn't make this today.

Yet another piece of butchery I had to "fix". I don't really consider butt connectors a fix, but it's fine for now. I'm guessing the brake lights were staying on and running the battery down? I don't understand why they didn't just take the bulbs out or something logical besides cutting the wires.

Still no tail lights. Given how the bed is just kind of resting on the frame now I know the ground path isn't good.

Just a thought and you might have considered it. Have you thought about getting a spool of trailer lighting wire and put it inside some conduit? It would be way cheaper then a 600 dollar harness and if its inside the conduit couldn't really tell what kind of wire it is. That would beat having a bunch of splices everywhere and possibly other breaks in the harness that you cannot see. Only bad thing with doing that is it wouldn't match any of the wiring diagrams.

The wiring is actually intact where it hasn't been cut. I think the path of least resistance (wiring joke) is to just fix as needed. I'll solder it some day.

“Posi-Tap and Posi-Lock connectors are an absolute must for electrical work on motorcycles! The Posi-Lock and the new Posi-Tap connectors make life so much easier.They’re waterproof, vibration proof and can be reused. Keep a selection in your bike’s tool kit for emergency connections”!

I've never seen these before, they're cool! I wonder how they hold up in a damp environment (AKA the rust belt)? Are they water proof when you screw them together?
