Do people go along the roof area or just up the back of the seat? Thanks,

1950 cab?
The wire runs up/behind the driver-side door post, and then behind/above the roof cardboard to the rear of the cab, and then over to the dome light.

Tie it to the wire and pull it up. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |
If the blown string does not work, try fishing a copper wire from the top downwards. Connect the lead to the copper wire and pull up.
It is much harder to fish the wire from below the dash upwards.
