Taillight harness location

I can't remember, but I thought the wire loom to the taillights on my 40 ran inside the body on the drivers side floor under the sill plate to the rear of the car. If that's true, where did the taillight wires exit the body to get to the lights? Merry Christmas to everyone on the Barn.

I believe the wiring goes down the inside of the left frame rail held by clips, not inside the body. Then there is a crossover wire to the rt tail light.

That's how it runs on my 38.

The majority of the wiring passes through the firewall and then fans out to varies areas. The front light harness and rear light harness go along the inside of the frame rails.

Deuce is correct about the 40 tail light harness.

Yes he is.
I'd like to mention the crossover goes on the rear most frame cross member on a '40. In 39 it was attached to the front of the fuel tank.
