I decited to retire my 6 year old Interstate battery and go ahead with this swap Ive had planned for a while. It turned out pretty good!
This is a 78 series battery and the battery tray is out of a newer GM pickup.
it looks nice next to the fuse box
The different hold down gets the big bulky one out of the way
The tray has one stud on the bottom - I used that and this bracket to hold it in place
I re-did the grounds as well - I ran the battery to this bolt on the frame, then a ground strap to a bolt on the head. I plan to add more gounds to various things too.
It looks MUCH cleaner this way... you cant see any hold down, terminals, or battery cables now. great sucess!!!
