While I haven't wired a bird specifically, I have done my share of trucks. I start by removing the dash and taking the harness loose from the firewall. Unhook everything out from under the hood and feed it in to the cab.
Start new harness at column and feed out the firewall.
Then the fun begins, hooking it up.

I believe there are Ford assembly manuals just for the wiring installation and the order of installation. I worked on a 63 (I know different body) and the diagrams were quite helpful. On the 63 some of the wiring had to be placed before the firewall insulator was installed.
