9/9/19 - Getting Wired

Had a productive day Sunday afternoon and called in sick today so i could work on the truck alllll dayyyy. Worth it - just hope they aren't reading this

Sunday i worked on more dynamat on the floors and up the firewall. Still going for that 25-50% coverage. I did put a higher concentration on the firewall and footwells though.

Then today I focused on the American Auto Wire kit and getting all the stuff that needs to be behind the dash installed. I had a lot of worry about doing the wiring but once i got into it it's not that bad! Pretty plug and play, and other times you need to crimp some connectors to move forward.

A few question marks along the way - I have one connector that comes from the steering column bundle...I think it's supposed to attach to a post on the back of the cluster - can anyone confirm?

Then I have the rear body wiring plug - where does it exits the firewall to go down the frame rail?

And lastly - all the dash/steering column brackets I have don't look quite right. Is this gap supposed to be here below the column?
