Well This 63 has been Ours for almost 2 weeks I have enjoyed finding some of the "fixes" it has suffered over the years,, the one I find most puzzling is the lamp cord used to connect the ignition circuit to the POS. battery terminal,, It runs from the battery down and across the front grill. I am looking for the "right way" to fix this,, Thanks

"The ignition circuit" covers a lot of things. What exactly do you want to know. I have a 1963 manual with schematic/wiring diagram. If you are planning on keeping this truck then you need the manual.
In the mean time, I will try and help. Give a little more info to your question and state what your experience with wiring is.
I understand that you want replace the lamp wiring. Can you just replace with auto wire?

This site linked below has the wiring diagrams. However, it sounds like you are looking for the wire routing which may be in the manual linked above.
