    Where did you put your batteries just looking for some ideas on where I should put mine in the 29 roadster pickup. I had purchased a small vintage cooler and though I might mount it in the bed, show pictures of yours if possible.

    My 29 RPU I made a small metal box that goes through the floor on the P*** side under the seat. Battery is an Odessy, been great for 7 years.

    This is exactly where mine is. Was in the same place on my 60's RPU too.
