S-10 install pics

[radiocomms95]

Hi everyone,
I recently ripped everything out of my S-10 and started from scratch. For those looking for install ideas in an S-10, these pics may help. Equipent includes a TK840 UHF mobile, TK7160 VHF mobile, an Able-2 4-way switch, blue mini phantom LED, and headlight and reverse light wig-wags. The console is a Jotto Desk 9" contour series console, purchased through Jotto Desk. I had to remove the cupholder and it's bracket from the seat to accomodate the console.

Here is a link to the pics -

All wiring is either in split-loom tubing or ran under the carpeting. Power is drawn from the fuse block with 8 gauge wire, fused at 30 amps. Antennas are a VHF quarter wave and a Lakeview high-gain dual bander for UHF. There are also provisions for a scanner, when I choose to have it in.

Rather then the looped jumpers on your distribution block, Blue Sea Systems makes a factory part for that function. Less connectors to fail that way http://bluesea.com/category/9/36/produc ... erview/193.

They also make a neat fused distribution block as well.http://bluesea.com/category/5/21/productline/126

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the advice on the distribution block. I'll have to clear some funds and install one. That should tidy things up behind the seat as well.

they cost like 35.00 bucks

I took a slightly different approach on my S-10, but here are some pics of how I did it:
