Re: 68 C50 Looongbed pickup build

Here is the finished product for my first upper mount:

And next to the original showing the difference in size:

With that done the battery mount was still in the way and I needed to fab a new one that rotated the battery from its stock side to side

And re-orient it front to back. The reason is that I run an oversized battery that won’t physically fit side to side in a stock mount. In this picture you can see the spacers (about ¾ inch thick) that I added when I originally redid my battery mount a few years back to allow for the wider battery and to get rid of the rusted out original. This was in the way of the new, wider radiator:

The spare front end donated this crusty, rusty mount:
