I need some advice

[Cbrown67]

Who ever owned my truck before me destoryed the wiring. everything is spliced together or spliced to nothing puled 13-14 wires that were attached to nothing.

I plan on rewiring the whole truck. So i need advice on what to leave alone and not screw with

Hey buddy, I am in the same boat as you.Basically, if you can follow the wire and know that it does not pertain to what you need or want, then strip its hot and ground to free up some space. I cleaned out quite a bit of my wiring, but I still do not know what everything goes to as far as my knowledge goes. Start with a wiring diagram. If you cannot find one online LMC truck and some other classic truck parts dealers have books on them. I will say that, anything going to a relay I would thoroughly check before removal.

Have a look at this thread, lots of info and links to wiring diagrams in post #7 that you can save to your PC.

Easy wire sells a kit $150 it comes with everything from the fuse box out.
I think i may go that route

[Cbrown67]

Also i have one orange wire that goes through the drive side of the fire wall and it plugs into the top of the fuse box but its not nor was it connected to anything what does this go to secondly there are two wires one white one orange that run all the bottom of the floor on the drivers side then go un towars the roof would these go to the dome light?

I have the same problem. I posted a while back asking about Painless wiring harnesses and almost everyone said to go with American Autowire if you can afford the price. Here is the thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...inless+harness

I looked at their instructions/diagrams and they are incredibly detailed.

Good luck

yes they go to the dome light, my wife's 67 project was a wireing mess the po gave me a new painless harness in box but i went through the oringinal harness and strip alot of wire i didn't need and took some out at the fuse box by removeing them all together easy to do just take your time and i also soldered and heat shrinked all connections

Well usually orange and white wires are associated with some kind of light. Dash light, dome, interior so on.

got it and found it thank you

We sell M&H Wiring. It is all factory color coded, has all factory ends, and exactly as the originals are right down to the gotters and clips. Not the cheapest way to go, but the best in my opinion. WES

From past experience I would just butt splice and stow away the wires that are not needed. That way when or if you ever need wiring again it will already be routed and placed correctly. That is what my son and I have done to his..........Later

If you have the money painless wireing harness are great.
there about $350 for a 12 Circuit Harness and very easy to install

I got the M and H wiring harness for my engine compartment and under dash. Fit perfectly no messing around had the harnesses replaced and plugged in, in an afternoon.
