the old trucker:

   F-150 here is a pic of the wire like I was talking about. This one is from Grote. You should be able to buy this stuff from truck parts stores or truck repair shops...
   The two big companies for this stuff are Grote.com & Trucklite.com

the old trucker:

  AMP TRAMP, I can buy this wire with 6-12 gauge & 1-10 gauge or
 
6-14 gauge & 1- 12 gauge. Would either be OK to use on these bombers ?? Any better ideas ??    OT.

FORD F-150:
trucklite.com has really good products, and grote.com has good info. thanks OT

fisher:
Need to redo the wiring on my wide gauge. All original wire right now looks like. Just started drawing a picture with all items needing power and approx. location (front/back) to get an idea how many wires and what the load on them will be. Gonna go with 1 fused main power going to the front with a bar and seperate fuses for each item.
Fuel gauge still works,  1
ammeter                     2
ignition start solenoid   3
            run   coil etc.   4
temp gauge                5
oil pressure gauge       6
tail lights                    7
horn                          8
main power back>front 9

That is  what I came up with for # of wires needed in the main harness front>back then go from the main at the front to what ever is needed. I was thinking about a fuse block out of a truck all #s on it and items labeled on the cover. Just a thought right now.
If that makes any sense let me know. Every thing is in the planning stages for now anyway.   

the old trucker:

  Fisher that fuse block sounds like a good idea. I have never seen the back of one though. I assume you have a heavy wire from the battery going to it...
