1959 reo 6x6 wiring

[earnie]

hi all
here is my question
i have a 1959 reo 6x6 m35 that i am modifying
this truck did not come with 4 way flashers, turn signals ect.
i have purchased a later model wiring schematic with these mods incorporated into the truck.
i have the wiring schematic for my truck.
it looks pretty straight foreward as to what must be done
i bought the flasher, turn signal switch, wiring , lights, and all of the nesessary parts to do this mod== " YES THIS IS NOT ORIGINAL "
but to be safe on the higway i am incorporating this

what i am looking for is the small aluminum wire indentifier tags for these wires
i am enclosing a pic to show what i am talking about
any one out there have any leads
thanks

If not going back original there are some nice snap-On Wire Markers at

Saturn has blank ones you can stamp, I use them all the time.

Check shipping charges when buying these, it would be considered 1lb via UPS. Ask to have them ship USPS first class mail...less than a buck....

Why not buy a M35A2 wiring harness, and swap out your old (probably dry rotted) wiring harness with all those features? I did this to a 57 Curtis-Wright M35 about 15 years ago. It's been a long time since I didi it, but I think you have to extend the starter wires as it's on the other side of the block, and you have to find a hot lead for your distributor - I'm sorry, I don't remember which # wire i used, but it took me about half a day to get it installed and functioning. Just a thought, it's easy to do.

Is it a gasser? If so there's a NOS harness on ebay for $75 out of CA. I bought 2 they're nice and you wouldn't be dealing with 60 year old stuff.

An NOS gasser wiring harness would be 95% better than the original one, but a M35A2 would be 100% better because it has the provisions for turn signals/hazard flashers already incorporated in the harness. No hunting and splicing needed. I'm electrically challenged, so for me that was the easiest route to take. A multifuel A2 harness will work in a gasser with a little modification to get power to the distributor, and the starter. Trust me, if I could figure it out anyone can do it!

I bought two of the gasser wiring harnesses; one appeared to have provisions for the turn signals.
