What protected the wire from the frame to the tail light(s) on the 1/2 ton pickup trucks? Were they left exposed or did they have a cover? If covered with what? Thanks

they were covered with a fabric like material. It is available at any of the truck vendors like Jim Carters or Chevs of the 40s.

Thank you. I have some. I guess you just tape the open end.

I believe there was originally a special rubber grommet/sleeve on the light end that was held with a crimped metal ring
