ideas on wire routing
I am building a 1971 show truck and it was partially started when I bought it. My question is the previous owner smoothed the firewall and other than the power brake booster and emergency brake cable there are no visible holes, they installed vintage air in it and put the bulkhead fittings in the side of the cowl to be hidden under the fender.
I am constantly trying to figure out where to run the wiring and speedometer cable out of the cab and I have a couple of places in mind to drill holes in the floorboard and use rubber grommets to get the underhood wiring into the engine bay and also out to the rear lights ect.. I was just wondering if any of you had experience with this and if you had a good location and/or likes/dislikes on where you did it? |

Re: ideas on wire routing
Don't know if this helps, but here's a 71 A/C cab.
If you need a closer shot just ask. The cab is bare.

Re: ideas on wire routing
thanks, good info.
i'm just wondering where the best place is to cut hidden holes for wires and speedo cable under the truck so you don't see wires when hood is raised. |

Re: ideas on wire routing
Right above the trans tunnel isn't a bad place to hide holes.

Re: ideas on wire routing
I can take pics and text them or e-mail them to you, if you tell me how.
I would like to post them here for everyone but I haven't had much luck on forums like this in the past posting pics and it has been a few years since I used photobucket. |

Re: ideas on wire routing
one more inside of cab lines. I don't like them being there but the firewall looks better?
