Default Basic wiring diagrams

Does anyone know of a website where I can print off basic wiring diagrams?
I require one for headlight circuit Park/low/high and Indicator circuit (no hazzard lights).
This is all for the 54 chev truck I am working on, the truck had no indicators at all, I have bought a universal switch (switch has light in the end of stalk).
I also bought a 3 wire flasher unit, I thought I had a gist on what I needed to do, but it has not worked.

I have not sarted on the headlights yet but figured if there is a site that has the indicators then there is a chance there is also a site that will have the headlight. I had drawn up a plan for indicators but once wired does not seem to work.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the link,

Ok after much headscratching I thought "What if the flasher is faulty", so I swapped it with the one in my Cobra, low and behold it works
Glad I was not getting my basic electricals wrong.

I have also now begun drawing up my headlight wiring, so dont really require a site now, but if one does exist it could be a useful thing to have on hand (save me free hand drawing any wiring)

Without searching too hard you should find a program called Smartdraw. I think it was originally for doing basic floor plan layouts in a house but the version I have now also includes electrical symbols.
It is drag and drop and snap to. Also, if you wish to relocate a component the attached wiring follows.

Might be of some use to you.

54 chev? Is that a mapleleaf?

Here is a pic of the truck in question.

Here's a good PDF with plenty of tips and colour schematics.
