OK, I want one

Where did you get those huge battery cables? I need to replace at least one of mine and they look good.

No Tim, I did not toss it. I am using it. I did cut the tab off to be able to mount it on my firewall next to the booster. Funny you did not notice it on my work bench. Well it is a little cluttered. What ticks me off is the white 70? in the Rocklin yard had one with the tab allready cut off. Never fear though, I see those things recreational junk-yarding all the time!

Battery cable came with the truck.
I think I have another bottle bracket with the spacer. I'm not sure it is the same type. I have to go see if I still have it. I just remember it being kinda odd back then.

Mounts here or close to it, looks like this ....that's factory stuff.

Did you see the pics of the bracket that greenhorn male posted and chickenwing confirmed as being factory, or at the least, dealer installed? There must be two different brackets available with the other being for Camper Specials.

Do you have a photo of the bottom of the new tank in the pic. I have something like that and it has a nipple on the bottom where the coolant overflow enters and recovers. Mine came with the truck and I would not trust it to be a stock item. Thanks.

Thanks for the pic Rod. That is pretty cool. Another thing I have never seen and I betcha I've seen a thousand things.

Are those instructions model specific?

That bracket and bottle looks exactly like the washer fluid bottle for my 66 Chevelle. Try to search on ebay for something like that.
