Thanks that's helpful!

So, just for clarification, I'm not seeing any retainer clips along the long section of the frame rail between the firewall and the rear axle.

I need to get back under there with a shop light and see what remains.

I bought some asphalt impregnated wire loom which I am going to use to make that long tail section run with. At casual glance, it gives the appearance of the original loom, and is impact and chemical resistant. I'm running significantly more wires that originally as I'm adding turnsignals, backup light, fuel pump, and some other axillary wires.

I wish there was an overhead diagram of the the wire routing over the chassis layout, as that would have been super helpful when you are starting with no reference.

I tend to be over cautious with wire routing and even on my '54 added extra grommets and wire protection where there originally was none. Some of the wiring I pulled out of my '54 showed evidence of chaffing where it passed through or over metal body parts.
