What year truck? A/C or no A/C? I believe the routing will vary depending on your answers. For example, most under hood pictures I see on this forum show the batteries (top post) on pre-1971 trucks with the positive terminal toward the center. My 69 with a top post battery came new with the positive toward the passenger fender and close to the core support. Those with side post batteries (1971 and later?) had the positive toward the center and away from the core support. My 69 with A/C has a loop on the A/C bracket that the negative cable passes through.

A lot of words to explain my first two sentences.
