Amazing work. Hope my truck turns out half as nice as yours. I've really enjoyed reading your thread, thanks for taking the time to share.

You thought about an isolator for your twin battery setup?
Batteries sitting in parallel constantly tend to fight, and weaken more quickly (battery with the lower equalized voltage will pull from the higher even if it's a fraction of a volt difference between the two). Just a thought from my younger days messing around with car audio.

Peace,
Ben.

Thank you Jim. Did you have to weld on the Torino big bearing housing ends and get new axles? I was quoted $600 for new axles with bearings $100 for the ends and $200 to cut and weld on them on from a local guy.
