Radio Power Cable

Post by sturmtyger380 »

Does anyone have a picture of how the power cable goes though the cab wall and into the bed?

Right now, my cab just has the opening and if I put a wire in there it will just be loose. Maybe there are some holders that mount around that cab hole?

I have no way to edit my photos small enough to upload.
The backshell of the receptacle has a weatherproof boot that protrudes into the cab. There is a rubber membrane held in by a split clamp in the cab back to keep water out of the cab. Crude but effective.
