Thanks for the compliments!

Still mucking about with wires. I'm a little obsessive compulsive about getting things to lay neatly, and I'm using waterproof Delphi connectors (either weatherpack or metripack) for EVERYTHING, so it's taking a few minutes to do all this up. When it's done, it'll look just like a modern GM harness (or at least I hope so

)

Anyway, I have tail lights! Sorry for the bad cell pics, my camera wasn't with me tonight.

I got the glass lenses and traditional bulbs (though I converted to 1157) because I think they have a nicer color and overall look to them:

Just an idea of building a whole harness from scratch ... and I haven't laid in the trailer harness yet!

You will note, on top of the driver's frame rail, I've got a ground point. I'm running return grounds on all my lights, I've had too many intermittent ground issues with old trucks in the past. Everything in the rear of the truck will ground right there.
