Original Battery Replacement ?

I would like to keep the under hood of my 71 GMC as close to original as possible , what battery size, type and manufacturer today matches what GM used that year ? Any feed back on Delco brand would help as I know GM used Delco back in the day. Thanks !

Re: Original Battery Replacement ?

Get whatever battery fits and get a cover for it. I don't know who makes them but they make covers that look like old batteries. The one I have doesn't fit optima.
