thanks for the info

Mine came with the extra box I don't know if there are any aftermarket ones out there.

I just bought myself an aux. battery box from Board Member teamradrz1. It was an option for our Trucks and I wanted it for the option to run two battery's for a future project.

With all of these trucks that I've seen in the last 35 years, I can only recall one with the factory aux battery. That was in the boss' truck at an RV dealer. And here I find 4 in one evening.

lol... 2 of my 3 trucks had the aux battery... actually, I *THINK* the parts truck longhorn had it too!

68w/sbc406 · 02-13-2007, 12:52 AM
