72 Blazer Rewire problems

First Post!

I bought a 72 blazer that someone had hacked the wiring harness. Being somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to projects, i ripped the entire thing out of the truck. Front, engine, dash, read, everything. I bought the LMC full on double rainbow wiring harness and started installing it. The problem is i have forgotten where the rear wiring harness comes through the firewall. Can anyone post a pic of where these wires should pop through? Thanks for the help everyone. I will post pics soon.

Re: 72 Blazer Rewire problems

First off this is the first post about wiring that has ever made me laugh (dbl Rainbow...not because you forgot where the wires go)

Second, the wiring should go through a square box/hole on the driver side firewall below and more outwards than the brake booster/steering column. If I remember right (all my wiring is tore out too) there is a junction box there that connects the underhood wiring to the in cab wiring.

I can get a pic later today if you need.

Re: 72 Blazer Rewire problems

the thing needs a wash, a new drivers side rocker, and passenger front wheel well and its RUST FREE! Thank God! Also needs some TLC and paint.

Re: 72 Blazer Rewire problems

Not to confuse the issue... but here are a couple of past pics from the board. See the wires headed down through the clip on the firewall on the yellow truck?
