If Ford and Chevy routed the harness the same I can tell you how the Pattern 12 C60L is routed. I took photos of the routing of the old harness which though shot was pretty much intact. Glad to help if I can.

Cheers Phil

Be great Phil, anything's better than what Ive got go on right now. I'm sure where it runs along the chassis & to the headlights could not be all that different. (famous last words I know).

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?)

Default Will collect the photos and post

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
