Ken,
Don't pull the dash. I found the thread (http://www.clubhotrod.com/forums/sho...ght=ford+truck) using Advanced Search. My framework behind the dash is similar, and today when I talked to Nathan at XS Power they were having a sale on their 680 series batteries with their 511 hold down and automotive terminals as a package including free shipping. It should be here by the middle of next week, and I think it will be easy to hang. One thing I did not see in the 32 Truck build thread - did you go to battery bulkhead terminals on the firewall or did you have another method to get the power & ground to the starter?
