Anyone in readerland with a seriously hacked up wiring harness?

I’m looking to install a ATO style fuse box in my sons 71 El Camino. This will be a Frankenstein project, but nothing we didn’t anticipate.

I built my own dash harness years ago for my 69 Olds. I used a fuse box and bulkhead connector from a 80 GMC truck, it fit the dash opening perfectly, as will the El Camino. I don’t need a dash harness, as long as I have the fuse box, the 3 matching plugs and as much of the wire coming out the top of the fuse box I’ll be good.

A added bonus would be the chime module and matching plug. While the key in the ignition buzzer is annoying, the headlight on warning is a plus.

Thanks!!!

This is the style fuse box I used.

I'm about to pull all the wiring out of my 85 Blazer. I'll not be reusing it. I'll take some pics. If it is what you are after you can have it. Pay for the ride.

While in Kansas City today I took this pic for you. Can't remember where we were talking about butchered toros or I'd have put it there.
