Could I use either of these blocks to run power wires off.
I plan on running 1 wire from the truck side of the main cutoff battery switch to the block. then jumpers from that connection so each stud is then hot. Then run to whatever needs power(mostly going to switches or relay)


would this work or are these only good as grounding blocks. Which I also plan on using them for.

no, those are terminal blocks, each screw is individual.. you want a bus bar

yes,tho i'm not a fan of that style...

a bus bar is one strip with multiple screws on it.. a terminal block is individual, or paired screws... not much distribution there... it's more for a remote connection method for individual components... keeps all the circuits seperate...
