Firewall mounted coil
I'm about to endeavor into un-ls swapping my 66 Gmc and installing a 283 with a tri power setup in its place. The truck has a deluxe style heater box, so my space is limited, but I'd like to mount the ignition coil somewhere on the firewall. Has anyone else done this and made it look good? Id like to keep things looking at least somewhat clean.

Re: Firewall mounted coil
Mount it on the inside of the firewall.

Re: Firewall mounted coil
Not on a truck but did a similar style mounting on my '57 Chevy 2dr. sedan. Am running a stock '57 2x4s intake on a 283 and the original setup back then used a coil bracket which mounted to the stock distributor in a figure 8 type arrangement. VERY hard to find and very PRICEY. I found a coil bracket on eBay that I bolted to the firewall just above and to the right of the distributor cap. Worked out really well.
I had been looking for a three deuce setup for my 283 and did not find one when I ran across this original 2x4s intake and went that direction. Member Elliott949 has a '67 shortbed and is running a 3x2s setup. Only time I've seen such in a 67-72 pickup. Pretty cool to see that when he raises the hood. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285303265392
