It seems that there must have been a cover for them at one time. Can anyone share a picture of what a properly dressed set of fuses should look like for this era truck? Thanks - Doug Currently they look like this: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Stt-NTjqoM2qj0BCkgW-iw?feat=directlink | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 176 | That is not original. The fuses on my 41 are on the light switch for the lights, the heater switches for the heater, and in a little inline fuse holder for the radio. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 202 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 202 | Hi, Doug, that is a standard marine fuse panel meant to be screwed to the back side of the dash in a boat. Note: your motor is not stock but the truck looks good and it is still a 6 cylinder. Send away for any cataloge that comes close to your truck, it will pay off on the long run.PS Have fun, Brian

I'm lucky enough to have a NAPA and Dan's Classic auto parts ( http://www.dansclassic.com) all within a 5 minute bike ride from my office in Portland -- so I've been making almost daily trips as I figure things out. What would we newbies do without the kindness of your experience? ;-) cheers, Doug | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 | My 41 has no fuse except for the headlamp switch. No heater is installed on my truck. But I have located one.
