Many thanks David. Looking at your collection your into both the Fords & Chevs.

The layout does not appear to be very different between the two manufacturer's.

What's your opinion?

(awesome photo's by the way. Got any more?)

Hi Tony

I'll go through my photos and try to document the entire route along the frame. I'll try to get them posted either on MLU or my own web page within the next week.

One point I will make is be sure to use cable clamps hold the cable in the correct location. I learned this the hard way.

The actual route of the wire loom, will also be indicated by a number of extra bolt holes running down the right frame rail. The real problem area is the routing from the cross member just in front of the transfer case behind the fuel lines, brake lines, speedometer cable and the battery cable. Then you hide it all behind the master cylinder and the brake booster. Easiest to install before the engine is installed but can be done with the engine in place.

Cheers Phil

Thanks very much Phil,

Look forward to it.

Hi Tony

Well I've been collecting photos of the routing of the harness on my Pat 12 C60L and looking through all of the manuals I've collected over the years, Because of the number of photos involved I will post them to my site. Hope I can get that done soon.

But I have a question, looking at some of my Ford Parts books it appears that the brake lines on the Fords runs down the passenger side of the vehicle while on Chevys both wiring harness, brake lines, fuel lines, and speedo cable run down the right or drivers side.

Questions:
Which side of the truck did the remains of your wiring harness run?
Which side do the brake lines to rear brakes run?

I'll keep working away on posting the info.

Cheers Phil

Thanks for getting back to me Phil. Had a look at your website too by the way. Good stuff!!

With regard to the Blitz

The wiring harness ran down the drivers side of the Chassis.

The Brake lines to the rear brakes ran down the passengers side.

Being a Canadian build for the Aussies, it is a right hand drive vehicle.

Don't stay up too late

Visited Ganmain yesterday and was very impressed to see Tony's progress on his cab 12. Just looking at it you can see just how much work has gone into it.

Designed for the 'to-and-froms' they are all RHD n'est-ce pas?
