SOOOOO CLEEEANNN

Yes, it all looks great.

How did the drop down battery box get mounted INSIDE the frame rail? I assume you had to weld tabs on the upper and lower frame flange for the bolts to go through? Any more pix of that installation and the cable routing?

Thanks guys. More like Sam whipped me into working hard. Man that guy is a slave driver.
Battery tray has spacers cut to the same width of the frame and has grade 8 bolts that go through. It's solid as a rock.

That will work. I know from experience you can pull a grade 8 bolt head thru the softer frame metal given a big enough bar with a long handle! Did it making sure my trans mount bolts were "tight" when I was younger.

Thanks. Actually I thought of that idea AFTER I posted the question. I thought, "He should have used spacers and made it easy on himself!"

It's basically new wire covered in cloth or sometimes the shielding is printed with a pattern to look old. It works and looks great. There is a guy at Pomona swap that sells it.

chevyrestoguy · 10-03-2011, 10:51 AM

The truck is looking great! Are you planning on road-tripping this one from Burbank to Phoenix for Dino's show?

It's basically a meeting of a bunch of guys who think they are kids. We bring our toys and tell each other how cool we are. LOL
And Dino is the 5th best lookin guy in Arizona so that's pretty cool to get to meet him.
