What is this stuff called?

[Gdub]

What is the correct name for the plastic raceway or wiring channel that runs across the top of firewall between the brake booster over to the passenger side (green arrow in photo below)? It's like a trough or tray, not generic split loom.

Are new replacements available? I looked at LMC Truck and elsewhere, but can't seem to find it - of course, I don't know what it's called, so it's hard to search for it. Any help would be appreciated...

I've looked for it under those names, but no luck. Yes - I am looking for a replacement part but haven't been able to find it. Got a source?

Nope, that's not what it's called.

Just found out the official name is "wiring harness gutter"

Do you need brand new? I may have one if it's flexible enough to roll up into a small box and can be shipped cheap enough. If I don't I bet someone hear does. It might not be pretty as new, but will be functional almost like new.

Thanks, but it is a semi-rigid plastic piece. An exact replacement of the type on my '73 doesn't appear to be available, but the style used on many other GMs of the same era will work and is less than $10. Here's an example: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/amd-w-160/overview/

Looks like a great alternative. I'd run with that.

If worse comes to worse you can just use some zip ties that have a screw hole on one end along with some sheet metal screws in the factory location. Guess it depends on what you have access to or what your desire is to have the stock piece of plastic up there.
