I am getting ready to have to make the decision on where to mount my fire extinguisher in my truck. I have ne idea where to put it as I have no interior or paint right now and wanted to see where everyone else has put theirs. So lets see the safety equipment

gintaras · 10-18-2008, 10:00 AM

mine was there when I bought the truck

Longhorn Man · 10-18-2008, 06:34 PM

That's where I had mine in 2 of my trucks. On my longhorn, I have it on the floor to the left of the seat... where the adjuster handle would be on a stock seat .

The one for the suburban is in the shed out back.
I should do something about that huh?

Mudder · 10-18-2008, 07:22 PM

I think this one is illegal now.

Mounted to one of the sub enclosures.

jdodd68 · 10-18-2008, 07:47 PM

Is there a reason you guys have to but these in?

Knight383 · 10-18-2008, 07:52 PM

You Know I dont know what it is about a fire extinguisher but it really does just finish off an classic vehicle.

jdodd68 · 10-18-2008, 07:56 PM

I like the look just didn't know if it was some crazy state law.

There's been to many pics posted on the board of a toasted classic Chevy because they didn't have a fire extinguisher.

jdodd68 · 10-18-2008, 08:34 PM

Looks like a time to get one. How about some more pictures.

lowrollin70gmc · 10-18-2008, 08:41 PM

My Chevelle has it screwed to the heater box in the middle of the floor, would be a good spot on these trucks too.

*ksjh1316* · 10-18-2008, 11:40 PM

Thanks for the pics anyone think of putting one on the inner fender?

I am trying to find a visable locations since I have a GMC fire Extinguisher that I want to kind of show off as well as have functional

I have one mounted to the seat bracket on the passenger side of both of my trucks. I used to have em mounted to the driver's side bracket but my wife couldn't adjust the seat when they were mounted there. In an ideal situation your extinguisher should be mounted where it can be reached from the driver's seat while wearing your seatbelt.........Mine are obviously not mounted in an ideal location.

Mudder · 10-19-2008, 06:45 AM

I don't think you want one under your hood unless you have another some where else. I have seen engine fires to where you can't even get the hood open they are so hot.

straitnate14 · 10-19-2008, 09:45 AM

I got a great big 15-20 pounder shoved under my seat I could put out my truck and sombodys house with

prg machine · 10-19-2008, 10:24 AM

it's a little large compared to most extinguishers so I put it here and it seems to be okay for leg room and accesability.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 10-19-2008, 11:11 AM

I have got mine right inside the driver's door, VERY EASY to get to if I have to!!!!!

big_al_71 · 10-19-2008, 02:37 PM

I have one not installed yet only because it is a must to enter car shows here in south florida I just lay it on the floor during shows. If it burns let it rip that is why is insured for lots of $$$$$$
