wiring help

[Jamminjohn]

Hi Guys,
I have recently picked up a 72 blazer and I am in the middle of wiring it up with a e-z wiring kit.

Can you tell me how to run the wires to the rear for the tail lights?

Do the wires run under the carpet to the back or out of the cab in the frame rails to the rear?

pictures would be awesome.

I have not had a chance to pick up the wiring and chassis book yet and the pdfs dont seem to show it.


thanks

Inside the frame rails on driver's side.

Where do the wires exit the cab?
Do they need to be wrapped? What kind of fasteners should I use?


thanks

They exit through the firewall. The gauge cluster for turn signals/rear lights sits atop the steering column and runs down to the frame. I used american autowire and they had some great diagrams. They should be wrapped, and your connections at the rear of the truck need to be watertight.

Mine follow the driver's side frame and straight to the back.

I used American Autowire also. Easiest wiring I've ever done.

The wires pass through a grommet in the firewall just above the gas pedal, then back down to the frame and to a connector in the rear frame cross-member. There should be some clips to hold the wires in place against the frame.

As much help as I have gotten from this board, I'm just trying to return the favor.

Does anyone have any idea where to buy the clips (mentioned in the quote) to hold the wiring to the frame? Not having any luck on the usual sites I shop on.
