1. An apparatus for communicating between a truck cab interior and an exterior chassis of a truck, said apparatus comprising: at least one multi-conductor cable having a plurality of circuits, wherein said multi-conductor extends the length of said truck cab interior and said exterior chassis of said truck to carry communication functions between said truck cab interior and a distal end of said exterior chassis of said truck, wherein said multi-conductor cable comprises a first multi-conductor cable for connecting a proximal end of said exterior chassis of a truck and said distal end of said chassis of a truck and a second multi-conductor cable for connecting said exterior proximal end of said chassis of a truck and said truck cab interior, wherein said first multi-conductor cable comprises a first cable bundle having a first socket connector at said proximal end of said chassis of a truck and a first pin connector at said distal end of said chassis of a truck, and wherein said first pin connector is electrically connected to a wiring system at said distal end of said chassis of a truck.
