I have a new addition to my Garage. I have been working on the '56 3200 and a friend decided to sell his '50 3100. It was a very special truck that I could not pass up. It has a newer 350 chevy engine and 350 trans. Ps. Pb. and Air. Well it's time to store for the winter and I like to keep Battery Maintainers on my vehicles. The 50 has the battery under the capert and trim. Has anyone an idea for remote connectors for charging or even jump starting if necessary? I have been more of a stock person with my other vehicles but this one is special to me. '73 Nove front end and the wife likes the ps and air. Tom

All I can say is WOW!! That's one good lookin' truck my friend.
It's certainly got an unusual paint scheme to it, but I like it.
And the PO sure put a ton of little "extras" on that truck while he had it. Love the etched windows and the tissue dispenser.
Never saw so much chrome on an old AD!!

You've got a keeper there for sure. Congrats!

Search E-pay for "jump start connector". There are several versions of a plug-in system that could be hidden on a bumper bracket, frame rail, etc., and wired in to the battery cables with arc welding cable. just plug in and charge or boost, you don't even have to open the hood. I used a similar system on my road service rig for 18-wheelers with a BIG battery and #00 welding cables, with plugs on both bumpers of the service truck. You can use the same system to jump start another vehicle safely.

Jerry -I will look into these. I was thinking of using the perminant install cable that came with the Sure Charge maintainer (it has a plug on the end) but the does not help for possible jump start need in the future, Thanks for the info. Tom
