55 wiring questions

I started reconnecting/wiring my truck temporarily. First question is on the front crossover harness is it routed on the outside of the radiator support or somewhere behind? Second, while I have a flasher and I presume it is for blinkers, did 55's have front blinkers? If they did I am still missing something, maybe dual element bulbs, since mine currently do not work.

I have front park lights and low beams as I have them wired right now. Will move to the rear later this week.

Thanks,
Pat

Look inside the bulb socket and see if it has two contact points for the dual element bulb. It should unless somebody has changed sockets. I can't remember if the 55 came with factory signals or not,i believe it did.
