If you haven't already, a larger alternator is in your future if you go through with your planned electrical additions.

There similar new solutions like your Eaton product if you can't find a yard pull. Be sure to allow for fuses or fusible links to keep a small electrical problem from becoming a 'replace the truck due to fire' problem.

Great info, but wishing I was in the USA, sorry lI should have made it clear I'm located down under. We are aware we just have to spend what it takes to get what we need. What I try to avoid is doing it twice. Truck in question

I figured that out from your location info. Always the chance you had a salvage yard close enough to be worthwhile or knew where a dead GMT-400 series truck was sitting. I think something similar is available new from Summit or Jegs but it won't include the OEM wires and fusible links.

Nice looking truck.

I went with this one. Fed it with 4 AWG from the Alt and connected it to the BAT with 4 AWG then connected everything to it.

Nice ride you have sir! I just picked up one of the bus bars a few weeks ago out of the local yard. I didn't think about the wires. I cut them all off to make it easy to pull. Dang Now I need to go back and find another one!
