I will be replacing various wires on my '54 tow truck, and the schematic on the old chevy online manual site is of too poor quality to see the AWG numbers. I would appreciate a higher quality image, if anyone might have it.

Thanks in advance,

David

David,

There are a couple of diagrams, depending on where you look. I have linked one that shows wire gauges pretty well. Your choices are 18, 16, 14 and 10 gauge...although not crystal clear, they are discernible (to me) and you can kick the magnification up to 200% if you need.

If it's the same one you found, dump it and someone else might be along with a better one.

David,

I do not think that this image is any better. I will check tonight to see if I have a better image that I can scan.

Stuart and Tim =

Thanks, guys! I CAN make out the numbers now. I printed each one, and between the 2, and referencing orig. file on 'puter, I now have a mobile copy to leave with the ol' girl. I am open to a higher quality image of exterior and interior wiring, though.

Thanks again,

David
