yuppers. there's a little grommet in there. there's also one on the drivers side of the firewall. pop the grommet out on a sunny day w/ your hood popped, then crawl up underneath your pedal assy. in the cab and look for light shining thru. it's easier to run wires for guages through there, instead of using the one by the battery, but if you're running power wire for an amp---use the one by the battery


sorry for rambling...but you get the idea

make sure you go to the hardware store and pick up a grommet for $.50 for the hole so you don't have the wire rubbing on chassis metal.
