Forgive me if I missed it in the search feature but I'm looking for a diagram for the fuse panel in my 59 apache. Thank you.

what do you mean by 'diagram'? are you looking for what circuits are on it or where the various wires go? if the 59 is like my 56 (and i suspect it is), the fuse panel was optional to run accessories, so what circuits/wiring you have depends on what accessories your truck had originally and what might have been added over the last 50 years...

what tom says, but if you have an original fuse panel in the truck, the fuses are labeled, pretty easy to figure where the wires should go, and the 'basics' are shown as dotted lines labeled ACC JCT BLOCK on the wiring diagram in the shop manual,

The fuses are all labeled but there are a few wires with spade connectors that go on the outside edges of the fusebox. Someone unplugged all these and I was curious where they go back? Also found a makeshift "fuse" made out of 3 pennies! Not sure of the concept behind this but it wasn't touching but the top contacts Only the original engineer of this fuse will know it's intentions! LOL

which "outside edges"? - the one top left corner is power to the whole works, the other 'edges' are to individual items as labeled ... you'll need to trace those loose wires back to the other end to figure which fuse they go to

Thanks Bill, that answers my question. It is the terminals down the right side of your photo. All the wiring in this thing is complete and unhacked so I'm going to clean up the fuse box contacts and put it all back together. Thank you for the photo.

couple fuses there are "extra", no telling what they might be to, but the center tab will be the 'hot' for the 2 fuses that supply the other 2 tabs - the top one "ACC LP" with 4 connections will be things like fog lamps or a spot light, or the glove box light
