It's about $340 for a full reproduction Delco R59. This route has the advantage of being easily transferable to a new battery when the time comes. The thing that really holds the toppers back though is the Delco Eye. You'd think they'd at least paint it green or something. It gives the thing up from a mile away. That's why we decided to improve that aspect.

Thanks. But as I said before I'm just taking advantage of others' willingness to share on this site and elsewhere. I got the idea to fix the Delco Eye on the topper from a thread on either a Chevelle or Camaro site. I looked for weeks to find spring ring terminals because I saw ChewyChevy67s...and Eric and I talked a fair bit about putting the bed on the rotisserie yesterday after tristan's most recent update for Project Checkbook 2. This board is full of inspiration, information and motivation.
