[Oletrucks] Battery location in a 55 First Series

[James Hays]

I have a 55-1st P U - kept the battery box as stock under the cab - find it
very practical being not cluttering under the hood & more protected than
almost anywhere else on the vehicle ( did put it in black plastic battery
box with foam dust seal to the under floor )

Hey All. Jeez, just looked at the posts I've saved from this list--nine 
years and counting.

I've got my chassis almost ready to go to the sandblaster next week. I'm 
wondering if I want to move the battery from under the floorboard (and 
remove all the mounting hardware). The eventual goal is a mild custom. 
Thoughts? I don't want the battery in the bed.

In case you're wondering why I don't just look at all the pictures 
available, I'm blind. I'm working on the truck with my nephews, but they're 
bike builders so what the heck do they know? Lordie, they drive a 65 
Econoline van.

Thanks. Harry
