Fuse Block Upside Down?

I’ve been looking over my wiring and I think my fuse block and firewall harness connections are installed upside down. The writing on the fuse block is upside down, and the harness connections on the firewall are opposite from all the other pictures posted on the board. My cab is a 67, but the truck is made up from parts from 67/68/70, so there is a good chance a PO swapped electrical components around. Am I correct, are they installed upside down?

Re: Fuse Block Upside Down?

Your fuse panel is installed upside down. It is fastened by two screws diagonally mounted. There are fuse panels that have the circuits and fuses on opposite ends of the panel but the lettering is right side up.


Here are two examples.

I think you are correct that a PO has installed this panel upside down.



Here is a diagram of the complete installation.

Re: Fuse Block Upside Down?

Thanks for the pictures and explanation VetteVet. I've only seen pictures of the fuse blocks with the flasher units on top, but now I see that mine will be on the bottom.

Thanks!
