Re: Rear Wire Harness Routing

Good quality trailer wire that is correctly color coded works great for the rear lights if your wiring kit doesn't have rear light wires in it.

I'd get some Adel clamps to hold the wire harness going to the back spacing them what ever I felt kept the wires or harness neat and orderly.

This isn't the one but i bought one of the trailer wire junction boxes for mdy 77 flatbed to clean up the rats nest of wiring back there.

At one time the truck belonged to a roofing contractor and was used to haul old roofing to the dump. They wired the taillights with a section of the yellow extension cords that a lot of contractors use and some SO cord. I actually cleaned it up a lot one night when I was towing my boat back from the coast and didn't have lights when I checked at North Bend.
