Need some battery cable advice - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did an LS swap in my 69 C10, I used the truck motor, wiring and accessories along with the F body oil pan and drivers side battery location. Since I used the truck battery cables on the drivers side with the F body oil pan I can’t use the plastic battery cable clamp that mounts to the truck oil pan. Now the battery cables lay between the engine and draw bar and would like to secure them better.

What have you guys done to secure the battery cables using the Floyd oil pan?

You can run battery cables any where you want really. I have an Fbody pan but I ran my battery in the rear of my truck and made new cables to run to the starter.
