Considering how cheap repro wiring is for these, I'd just buy an entire new harness. I think for about $550 you can rewire the entire vehicle, with all new wiring, including the metal circuit # tags and your choice of either Douglas or Packard connectors. Best part is the vendors (there are a couple) will add in a second brake light circuit in the rear, turn signals with M-series turn signal switch and flasher connectors (so that it will look like a factory installation) and you can tell them where you want the front turn signals (a lot of people either replace the blackout lights under the headlights or they add them on the fenders).

The wiring harness on my '55 M38A1 is relatively uncut and I was going to try and re-use it but after I had to do some work on it, I realized it was old and brittle that it was just pointless to try and mess with it. I guess 54+ years will do that to wiring.

Nice Jeep!
