Is that a "B" Farmall in the back ground? Like the inner-rail mounting better. Easier to get to.

Inside the frame rail would be nice...if I had an ECSB. Not as much room under my truck.

Not sure if its a "B" but its a farmall.. still runs great.


i like the inner rail also,, but put a muffler on my wastegate and just realized the battery might not go back under there. im gonna check tho.

Exhaust does get in the way too...outside the rail was really the only option I had if I wanted to keep the battery out of the bed.

If you want to see all the pics of the rest of his truck and build, here it is. Turbo GMC Sonoma
What is that red crap on the 1 cable? It looks like some kinda plastic wrap. But other than that, it looks bulletproof.

Got any pics of where HD's have 2nd batt. on pass. side? Do u need a cutoff or didja find out?

So does this qualify as NHRA spec legal?
