Re: OEM Battery?
The side terminal R89/R89W is for 1971-72.
 If you want to use a modern battery, they also make toppers:

I guess worst case scenario I’m out $160 and have to continue to search. He was last active yesterday at 7:43 pm and hasn’t responded to my PM or email inquiries. Last edited by kna4977; 10-26-2024 at 10:11 PM. |

Re: OEM Battery?
Please be patient. He is a very well respected member in the truck hobby. He will come through and you will be happy with the product.

Re: OEM Battery?
Where/whaf is the ground strap supposed to bolt to? Currently grounded to the front of passenger head right behind the a/c compressor bracket. The secondary ground looks like it might attach to the passenger side inner fender. There’s a hole there for a bolt. Anyone know what size bolt needs to go there to attach it?
