Does anybody here have pics of the painless or American wire fuse panel installed from both sides of the fire wall ? Thank you!

I have the AAW classic update installed in my truck. I don't know if this is what you are looking for. I don't have pictures, but I could take a couple if no one has some pictures already made to post for you.

That would be awesome, thank you!

Let me know if you need to see a different view

Did you have to cut any more metal out of it are did it fit in the factory opening? Just wondering.

You have to widen out the factory square hole about a 1/4 inch or or so to fit. The kit comes with a template to mark and cut the hole bigger. Interestingly, the bulkhead connector was made to fit a 1968 GM car apparently, and our trucks had a slightly smaller hole.

"Classic Update Series kits are based on the 1968 and later GM bulkhead assembly which has a different mounting footprint than earlier bulkhead connectors.
Therefore, it will be necessary to modify the firewall of the 1961-1964 Chevy Fullsize cars, the 1967-1968 Chevy and GMC trucks, and the 1969-1972 Chevy and
GMC trucks to accept the 1968 and later design bulkhead"

I went the cheap route and added another fuse panel beside the factory one.
