I have acquired someone else's project , a '54 3100. I have lots of work to do , and I am in a steep learning curve.
This should be easy : Why did the good folks at Chevrolet choose to locate the battery underneath the cab floor?
In the case of my truck the battery box is in poor condition , and - given the fact that there is a lot of "non-originality" with this particular pick up anyway - I am considering moving the battery to the more protected engine area.
Answer to question appreciated ,
