Question wiring diagram sources?

Is there any place, catalog,manual,etc., that shows the factory routing and indentification of the various harness' that go in our trucks??? There's a bunch of stuff I've found, but all for cars. I'm looking for early V8 specifically. Tks~JH

The factory manuals do. You can buy them if they are not out of stock at www.helminc.com

Thumbs up factory manuals

Hi; Tried that Helm link but can't get anything that old, there is no catagory for Early V8's, at least in trucks. I seem to remember somebody saying the cars and trucks used the same frames back then so I may as well stop spending my time, and others, looking for something that doesn't even exist. Thanks for trying tho!~JH

What are you looking for exactly? I have manuals that date back into the 1940's. Not for sale but maybe I could copy or draw something for you.

Talking manual with wiring diag.

Hi; I've got a '38- 1/2 ton that needs all new wiring. I'm trying to stay original with 6V and all the gages and stuff but feel it would be easier for me if I had one of those diagrams that outlines the truck and where the harness' go, not a line schematic with no clue as to how it fits. This is my first try at restoration and it seems like a long affair, hope I can stick it out. Tks for any help!!~Dan

The MoToR's AUTO REPAIR MANUAL I have is a 1946 and covers 1935-1946. There is a diagram of each circuit as it applies to each component however.

For a car here is a layout.

And a 1941 Ford Truck

Talking manuals & bulletins

Bill; Tks for all the sources, you must have done alot of research yourself! Some of them I've gotten at swaps and E-bay already so I don't need too much more. If I can't find what I want off your lists, it ain't out there!! Thanks again.~Dan
