Had my '50 since the spring of 2005 and the first thing I did
was put a new F&F battery in her. Changed that battery out
three years later simply because Farm & Fleet only warrantied
their 6v commercial battery for two years and I dint want to
take a chance on getting stuck out in the boonies with a dead
battery. Once we got to know each other a little better she's
gained my trust and I'm not afraid to leave the battery till
she gives me a sign that something is wrong. That second two
year battery has been in since '08 and here it is, 2013. Five years
now and still goin' strong.
I still use the first one as my 6v power supply on the radio
bench.
I've never removed the battery in the winter, mostly cuz I still
drive the old gal a couple times a week weather permitting.
But I do understand why one would choose to re-engineer their
truck when the need for a non standard size battery is called
for.
No one's perfect Ida, I'm almost a purist and almost
a vegetarian, but not quite 100% of either.
