Wire Color coding
Was there ever a chart or schematic that listed the wire colors for 48'-50' trucks? Wire gauge would be nice too.

The shop manual has everything you need. The main wiring diagram has the color coding and routing. You have to look through the manual in each individual section to find the wire guage.

wire
Bob, thats awesome, I knew you would be the one to come through. For some reason the manual that I have does not list the details of the wire. I wonder why.
