Need some help, does anyone have a good loom or idea for running my wiring from dash to rear of truck. I have a new harness, but would really like a nice loom to go over it. If so, who might sell it, and whats it called. Thankssssssssssssssss.. again!

 

First question, Is your truck a daily driver? If so, you want something that won't collect a lot of silt and sand that will eventually rub through the insulation and cause the wires to corrode, I would suggest a rubber hose that you could fish your wires through and then use clips to attach the run to the frame.

Another option (although more expensive) if your truck is a show truck, go to your local oilfield instrumentation company (I'm sure there are a couple in Bonnyville) and purchase a length or two of stainless steel tubing (will be way cheaper that at the auto parts store and if you tell them its for your old ride, they may even just give it to you.

Cut to length with a tube cutting tool, ream the end to get rid of the sharp edge, Run your wires through the thru and then with a tube bending tool bend as necessary to follow the contours. Uses stainless clips with rubber liner to attach the stainless tube to the frame as required. Use body compound or seam sealer to seal the ends.

 

I just used the cheapo split loom from any auto parts store. Nothing can chaffe and it's easy to install once the wiring is laid out.

 

yep!
i''ve used up miles & miles of that plastic split loom over the years........done a lotta rewires & total hotrod wirings nevvver hadda lick of trouble with it. dependin' on where you go it's available in loads of colors. with tiewraps to match. so's you can really do up a rod nice. but plain ol' black looks sharp onna stock-ish unit too.

For the wiring to the rear of my truck, I used a 14-6 cable that is made for wiring heavy duty trailers, rubber enclosed and almost abrasion resistant. It has 6- 14 gauge wires, so there are enough for whatever you need to run.

 

Even Lowes and Home Depot carries the corregated split loom as does Northern tool and Harbor Freight.

 

Now how custom is that stuff........
