Anybody have pictures how they cleaned up the wiring? I want to get the cleanest look and hide all the wires, but around the junction block it could be tricky. Iv got about 15 feet of loom so thats no biggy :D


Here is a few pictures of what my rats nest looks like.

Any tips is well appreciated!
 
I started from scratch. Even if that just means pull out all the wires and rerouting them, it makes a huge difference. keep as many wires together for as long as possible, even if it means a longer run for an individual wire. Electrical tape and zipties will be your friend while you're routing. get everything bundled, THEN loom it up.

Oh, best clean wiring mod I did... swapped in a diesel =)
 
My plan is in the next 3 years is to do a frame off restoration. Hopefully the 6l vortec gets between my frame rails :D
 
im thinkin like everyone has said...do one part at a time....extend/shorten you wires and just use zip-ties at first...then if you real picky yuo can cut the off wehn your putting the loom on.
 
Well, it's not a K5, but it could be worse:
