The next project on my '48 Chevy 1/2 ton is to rewire it.  I'm going to do 
it from scratch rather than buying a harness and am wondering how to best 
protect the wires running along the frame.  Most harnesses seem to be 
wrapped tightly in electrician's tape, but that seems tedious.  I was 
considering using rock guard tubing (ribbed plastic tubing that has a slit 
for inserting the wires),  but fear that it may trap water.  A fellow list 
member suggested using heat shrink tubing.  Suggestions?  I will be using 
modern wires (rather than cloth) and am wondering what I should use for 
color coding.  Is their a resource on the web that would detail this?


Thanks,
