The parts and drawings you need to research out are AA-14405- A, B, C and D Stop and Rear Lamp Wiring Assembly for the shorter frame AA trucks.
The AA-157 frames used AA-14423 Rear Lamp Extension Wire Assembly, which was attached to the AA-14405.
These drawings will tell you, more than likely, the correct length of wires that were used for the Model AA Trucks.
They are both listed on the MAFFI site including Part Releases and dates of.
Neil Wilson of the Model AA Truck Club can probably be more specific about this. As a matter of fact, I think in one of his publications, The Double A'er, he did an article on the wiring harness (see below).
