1952 GMC S10 Swap Battery Location - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been following the progress of the S10 frame swap but I'm not seeing many ideas on where to put the battery. My truck will set alot and has some electrical conveniences like air, power windows and stero. I do not like the battery in the stock location with the S10 frame. I'm looking at it on the firewall, in the bed, in the front fenderwell, or under the seat. That

now brings up the question of what battery to use? I would think the only way to put the battery under the seat would be to use a dry cell? I have no experience with these small batteries. I would like to here your input. Thanks.

I ended up putting mine on the fire wall for the convenience of getting to it. I am not building a high dollar show piece(cant afford to).It's proven a good spot since the key has been left on several times.
