Wiring Locations?

I'm rewiring my '54; looking for some direction -


1. Does the body harness to the rear tail lights clip to the bottom of the frame? or does it go in the inside of the frame "C" channel?


2. Do the high beam wires enter under the square floor plate from the top or the left side?


3. Do the high beam wires run behind the side kick panel? or along the bottom of the kick panel along the floor?


4. Was an under dash map light ever an original feature?


Any answers would be appreciated - Thanks!

Here is what I have with pictures from my original 55 wiring.
1. Does the body harness to the rear tail lights clip to the bottom of the frame? or does it go in the inside of the frame "C" channel?
Inside the "C" channel:



2. Do the high beam wires enter under the square floor plate from the top or the left side?
Left Side:



3. Do the high beam wires run behind the side kick panel? or along the bottom of the kick panel along the floor?
You can see it some in the above photo where it goes behind the kick panel (I didn't have one) and comes out higher then one wire goes the headlight switch and the others go out the firewall to the headlights. In this picture, behind the headlight switch you can see the wire coming up and where I cut it off.





4. Was an under dash map light ever an original feature?
That I have no idea.
