There you go folks, that is the whole idea. Keep it simple, keep what ever you need to switch within easy reach were you can either switch it as you get in the truck or just before you go to start the truck. If the guys riding with you don't notice that you turned on the power to the truck you nailed it.

I'm not so sure about the magnetic or under the seat switches, They work great on your riding lawn mower when you don't want your toes around moving blades stepping on or off a running mower but might be a pain where you want to have the truck run while stepping out of it to check something.

If you do this you could rig a low amp feed to the radio/head unit that bypasses the rest of the system if needed. That would keep you from having to reprogram the head unit too many times.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
