How about a Continuous Duty soloniod, about a 300 amp should work to turn off the battery power

That is an option as well. It would be a lot easier to hide a little toggle switch. Would be great for theft as well.

You can find them pretty cheap on Amazon and Ebay.

Love this new grill guard I picked up........pretty rough, but matches his patina!!

I am going to have to modify it though.....I scrape going in and out of my driveway!! Any suggestions??

Root2812 · 08-19-2015, 11:51 PM

Those brush guards are hard to come by and can be pretty pricey. I got lucky to find one a few years back. Think twice before you modify it because they don't make them in the aftermarket.

Sweet Sweet Sweet truck!! Just read your hole story that was a fun build. I love the way you kept it driving for the most part while you modified.

Very nice build! My 51 has the same patina color as yours (but it's unfortunately had some bondo repair before I owned it) and you've given me ideas and motivation to get mine going. Thanks and looking forward to your IFS install! Subscribing to all threads

When you spaced the steering box out did you do any thing with the mount on the dash?

No, used the stock mounting location. I did not notice any difference in the cab.
