I am beginning to install the new wiring harness in my 52 - 3100. Because it had no wiring when I got it, I don't know which holes wires should exit the cab into the firewall. There are a number of holes and I would love to try and get the new wires in their proper place. Any photos or help????

Tomorrow I'll take a picture of my '50.

Basically, the wiring goes through the hole in the upper left corner of the firewall (driver side).

The other holes are for throttle and choke cables, oil sender tube, and speedo cable

Here's a couple pics of my '51. Your truck should be similar. The main harness goes thru the large hole on the upper left of the firewall, and the feed from the starter goes thru the smaller hole toward the center.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Here's a photo I already had of the voltage regulator. You can see the wiring in the upper right of the picture and the other grommets with the throttle and choke, etc.

Lower left corner of picture is vacuum wiper grommet.

Center left is throttle ,choke, temp and oil.

Center right is speedo.

I don't remember what's coming out of the hole next to the VR. I'll look tomorrow and take better pictures.
