Sure, you know how to work on old trucks. Or maybe you're just starting in the hobby. Either way, safety is best learned through OPM (Other Peoples' Mistakes), not OJT!
Either as newly discovered wisdom, or a refresher, please read this article and live safely with your old truck!
Looking for someone who has a stash of old heavy duty Delco truck battery cases or even just the caps. The attached show the style of battery and caps that I am looking for.

I remember as a kid watching an old mechanic take a bad cell out if one of those batteries and replace it with a good cell from another one. Charged it up, re-installed it and started the engine. Circa 1960.
