The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Photos of wiring through rear frame - 54 / 3100

Does anyone have photos they can share showing a good / clean / neat installation of wire or wire loom routed through the rear frame? I am quite an assortment of wire types from the cab to the rear (including speaker wire) that I am going to replace while I have the bed removed. I'm not going to replace the entire harness, just those going to the rear lights.

I'm looking for the connections to the frame as well as the bundling of the wire or wire loom.

Since I took my bed off I can see my wiring, its partially unhooked from the frame, but when I get home I'll take a look/picture and see if it helps you out at all... no promises it will though

I finally re-wired all the tail lights and pulled new wire up to the firewall. I put some 7/16" wire loom along the frame with some nice clips to the frame. I put in new chrome wire loom to the tail lights ( many purists argue that is not stock, but I really like the look). I tried to make everything as clean and neat as possible and pretty pleased with the results since this is my first time doing something like this.

Frame & tail-light wiring

Nice work.

That looks really good Bob!

I'm really pleased with the outcome. I just need to determine a way to secure the finishing cap on the back of the tail light. It has small indendations that should fit into something in the tail-light with matching recesses (which don't exist). I may take some clear silicone and just "glue" the finishing cap onto the back of the tail-light. Everything else looks great - trying now to do some nice long-lasting labels for the wires.

3/8 flex tubing. Nice! Too much time in the electrical isle, right?

You are right about that. I went to an auto parts store, then Radio Shack but actually found most everything I wanted at Home Depot.
