This only gives you the phone number - they don't have a web site yet http://www.obrientruckers.com/ . If you have a '32 frame, then you shold be able to put a drop out box somewhere - an 'A' frame - doubtful.

Somewhere I have a photo of the battery holder in the trunk taken before I stripped it out for paint but couldn't find it. The battery holder goes in the upper right corner, just above the rear end. The upholstery was actually before the final primer - and now I'm in deep do-do for paint because of temps here in upstate NY.

Gettin' cold there I'll bet.
Temps are dropping here in N/W Arizona, but not bad.
Days are still in the 70's here which is great garage - or exploring the dez - weather.

Nice battery holder.
What's the large access hole in the sheet metal for?

It looks like your trunk floor is a little flatter than is the trunk floor in my 31 Brookville body.
It has the 32 floor option and what looks like a little more drop down to the main floor at the front of the trunk floor than does yours.
Or . . . it's just an optical illusion, but I seem to remember you did change your trunk floor.

So far, my F150 seems to be doing ok in the front end dept.
The roads here in Sunny Arizona aren't too bad.
We travel a dirt road once in a while as well as about a hundred foot dirt run to get to the paved road, but other than that the F150 is living a life of ease just runnin' errands and the like.
