Its not that hard. It might seem daunting gut I bet you could do it.
Can probably talk you through it tight here.
Metal shelled connectors (Douglass) or rubber shelled (Packard)?

I might could install harness myself, but just don't have the time. Original 1951 wiring is shot, a lot of add on and bypass wiring. Time for a real replacement, by someone who knows what they are doing. Any recommendations on which company to buy a harness from?

I have bought several from Vintage. When it was the original owner, he did a bit of customization for me specific purposes.
The new owner did some customizing for me too. ( Mix of Packard and Douglass connectors for new and old accessories. Additional wiring for some added pumps and compressor controls. Convoy lighting, etc )

Found out there is a "Vintage Wiring of Maine" and "Vintage Wiring in Alabama" . I understand the one in Maine covers a lot more military vehicles. I will be talking to Maine next week.

Pretty sure Maine was sold and became Alabama.

Maine is done. He retired and sold to the other guy.

OK, Talked to Vintage Wiring Alabama...M37 wiring is $1020.00, plus $220 for turn signals. He has many other harness kits. Order lead time is 4-5 weeks.

Yep, I just finished installing one. Not too bad I did have a couple minor tweaks to do. Definitely easier than trying to fix an old one.

Where can I find the 4 way crimp tool for the Packard connector?

I have no idea. Maybe someone with more experience in this area can help.

I drill a small weep hole in the side of the contacts and solder them to the wires rather than crimp.

I found mine rather inexpensively on fleabay.
There are several Veem and Cannon crimpers that do the same job but at a much higher cost.
