Stereo in '49?  But anyway, are you trying to get the original AM radio working?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

If you are putting in an aftermarket radio, I would suggest just running new wires. The old wires (if they are even still there) are probably corroded past the point to where they would be of any use. 

Just my two cents

yes you need to make new harness for your head unit, and the rest off the car to. That is if it's not fully restored. otherwise start from scratch. If you don't feel that you can do that, see a pro. good luck with your project.
