53ChevyTruck,

What you show is where it is routed on a 1954 truck. The wire is held in place with two wire clips attached to holes in the inner fender (behind the grill).

Look at Section 12, Sheet 3.00 in the Factory Assemnly Manual (FAM). At the upper left of the drawing is the labelled Parking Lamp wire (violet). If you follow this wire down, you will see it goes through your "gap" to the right of the radiator support.

Section 12, Sheet 1.04 gives a poor depiction of the clips (451314) on the inner fender behind the grill. Does the inner fender on your '53 have holes on the inner fenders as shown for the '54 in the FAM?
