I need to weld myself a box up like that I have a 12" big rig battery in my truck so it is alittle bigger than the stock battery tray.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

My battery was 11" by 6 3/4" or something like that.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

When building this I would suggest you build a nice solid plate for ya to mount a winch at some future point. I don't know about you but I always seem to get stuck in the worst places.:lol:

Also I just looked at the pictures you first posted of your truck I see now how much that other tailgate was a improvement over the old one lol.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Lol Idk about the winch they are to expensive! lol

The old tailgate was held on by bailing wire. lol

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

im going to build this bumper for my ford

You can buy them from NFab.

I was gonna make one but I just made a bull bar for my ford that attaches to the tow hooks. I cost me 20 dollars (for the pipe to be bent at a exhuast shop) then I bought 4 hella lights and mounted on it.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Harbor freight sells a couple inexpensixe (not cheap there inexpensive) winches that some of my buddys run on there rigs. I'll ask around to see which one they have found to be the best. And remember if you find an old WARN brand winch they can be rebuilt.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

That sounds good. Thanks man.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Woooo Progresss.. lol.

Heres the first thing. When I bought this truck it didnt have a blinker switch and I was bored so I made one :P Its a regular craftsman wrench and I just cut off one end and Ground it done to fit in the slot.. drilled a hole and screwed it in.

The person before did a bad chop job to fit the radio in and It wasnt to supported so I built this out of alumium to hold it.
