Positive wire to block on fender - what size? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just had to put a new battery in old faithful. Jeez you'd think they could make battery that lasts longer than 11 years!

What size wire should I have running to the power distribution block on the passenger side fender? I had an 8 gauge stranded wire there but the battery I bought has the posts on the other side so now that wire is too short. All I had laying around is 10 gauge wire so I put an end on a piece of that and installed it. Since it is major salt season I won't be using the truck much other than to drive out to the fish house. Should I be looking for a better piece of wire before I use the truck?
