Default Re-wiring Ram Charger

My dad has a '74 ramcharger with the original 440. Mechanically the truck is great. Electrically it is fried. Has anyone ever used a painless wiring harness for these trucks?
I have to rewire the engine as well as under the dash. I've had no luck finding an aftermarket fit for these trucks. Every dodge truck that I've seen from the 70's has the same wiring issues. I can wait to get this thing back on the road.
Any input would be great.
Thanks
Brian

i have never seen any aftermarket wring harnesses for any of the older trucks. the only big know problem that i can think of is the amp gauge and fire wall connections. the wiring on these old trucks are super simple.
some good info
