39 Pickup firewall wiring arrangement

Anyone have a photo of what the arrangement of wires and "stuff" in front of left front corner looks like?

I know the gas line will go there, as well as the wires. One wire seems to "loop" thru the headlight harness and the back to the body wire - seems odd.

Seems to be an extra clamp too.

Thanks

I don't have a diagram for a truck, but the 38-39 passenger car should be somewhat similar.

I don't have any wire clamps on my pickup. They just lie there and look to get in trouble.
 
Thanks for the posts so far. I've got a small drawer full of "old Ford clamps". Someday I'll figure out where some of 'em go.
My old trucks each have different parts of the harnesses through different holes. Tyree's harness sure seems to have everything; I will just have to see what reaches where. Your diagram may tell me the relative positions.

Thanks, Gordon
 
Ya you have two clamps on the electrical wires. Just use the larger one.

The larger clamp has a couple of nubs that fit into the indents on the firewall.
