Thanks Wally and KMC3420. The GM part number on the battery tray is 20970916. It was used on 2006-2016 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana cargo vans. I purchased mine off of ebay as a "take off" unit, which included the hold down clamp and bolt. They can also be purchased new from a variety of sources. I included one more picture to show the other mounting ear configuration. I'll be using a group 34/78 battery with side posts.

Nice work! I believe that's what I'd like to do also. Thanks for the part number!

No dropbox? Do you think you will be able to get to the battery easily when needed? And in case of needing a jump, are you thinking of installing one of those nice connectors that you end up cutting off one end of battery jump cables and installing the connector? That setup in pretty slick, I would have went that route if I didn't already buy my remote battery jump posts for engine bay.
This is the connector i'm talking about: https://www.zoro.com/anderson-power-...BoCyisQAvD_BwE Truck is gonna be badazz btw. Nice work. :chevy: |

Thanks for the part number and the info.

Re: Project "Financial Burden": 1968 SWB C10
I like the 34/78 batteries. I use side post cables. Many folks hate the side post stuff because of leaks, I've never had a leak problem. The additional top posts along with the side posts allow easy jump starting...

I've been working on the small things lately. I converted my three speed on the column to a floor shift setup with the correct collar. During disassembly of the column, I found damaged threads on the steering column nut. I didn't want to scrap the shaft so I repaired the damaged threads by sizing it down from 1/2-20 to 7/16-20. I also plumbed the gas tank vent/roll over valve (hope I don't need that!). It was a little tricky since the gas tank fill is in the bed floor so the vent is elevated above the floor and nest within the bedside.

Nice fix on cutting my those new threads! Did you turn it down in the lathe?

Do you have any more pictures of your turbo manifolds? looks like you used LS3 manifolds.

One of the last pieces I needed to complete the intercooler plumbing was a merge pipe into the throttle. I looked around quite a bit, but could not find anything off the shelf that I liked so I decided to fabricate something from scratch. I started with a two dimensional template and then made a three dimensional buck to form the part over. It took a lot of time and there were several scrap pieces created in the process, but I'm really happy with the outcome.

Looks good man. Educate me on that charge pipe. What is the dual cylinders inside with holes looks like an old 6 shooter cylinder but more holes? Is that tunneling air for velocity?

Thanks guys. I finished up all the welding on the intercooler plumbing tubes and added beads for the hoses using a K2 Bead Roller from Dog Fabrication. I can almost see the finish line to completing all the under hood plumbing.
