cleaning up under the hood
During my search for the perfect c10 I have a lot of trucks that look horrible under the hood with a million wires and hoses going everywhere,some of the ac trucks look very bad do to the extra hoses etc. Is there a wiring harness to minimize clutter? Any good engine bay pics?

Re: cleaning up under the hood
You may need to replace the under hood wiring, I used a AAW Classic update for both my 71-72. New Wires were needed. I ran as much of the wiring in looms to hide and protect. Hide behind fenders when possible, Lots of black tape and zip ties. Mine are not perfect or the best examples, others can chime in with better ideas.

Re: cleaning up under the hood
I think A/C trucks look crowded, sloppy, and difficult to work on.
 If you're interested in a clean engine bay, maybe look for a non-A/C truck, or consider one of those kits that gets rid of the big A/C box and hides stuff behind the firewall...

Re: cleaning up under the hood
I have a friend who sprays his whole compartment with WD40, then wipes it down. Swears by it!
