Re: Fuse box placement 50 gmc

I welded a piece of sheet metal between the 2 'braces' on the firewall, and mounted the fuse box onto it.

1. I did not want it on the divers side (of firewall), as the pedals, steering column, and parking brake is there.

2. didn't want it on the Passenger side (of firewall) as I have a Vintage Air Heater on that side, (Heater only)

so,

I welded a piece of sheet metal between the 2 braces (firewall), and attached the fuse box to it.

This allows for easy access, without having to lengthen your wires, and the sheet metal acts as a good ground for anything that needs it.

However, I also made a sheet metal top for the fuse box that just clears the cowl vent, so if there is a leak, the water will not drip on the wires. (just a heads up)
