Does this truck run? Those look almost like the wires to the starter.

hmm... i'm surprised it didn't catch fire mine has caught fire 8 times I've had the parking brake melt the brakes fuse together i had a leak in my Holley and it caught. my starter wires are what does it now. i'm lucky this thing is mostly steel and cast or i'd have a melted Honda. why a they in conduit? mine are in a plastic corrugated sleeve that has melted.
