Dualfours,

Me too!
Painless recommends mounting the fuse panel in that general location, either up above the kick panel or higher up on the firewall. I have Raingear wipers and that factored into the placement (I...
Bama,
Not sure if it is relevant, as I used a Painless harness, but I located my fuse panel on the firewall, adjacent to the kick panel and directly above the parking brake handle. I'm real...
Bama,
I've been hooked on dual-post battery configurations since I discovered them a decade ago; I really like having auxiliary terminals to connect high-amperage accessories or a charger. My...
Chevynut,
I read about that many moons ago when I first got interested in TriFives and bought my first big Chevy book ('Chevrolet: USA-1' by Ray Miller).

Completely agree on the foot dimmer being the best setup.
I was perfectly satisfied with conventional sealed beam headlights until I bought a newer used vehicle with HID headlights. We live in a...
I agree that halogens are a potential upgrade, but I have not had good luck with them; the ones I tried (Sylvanias) weren't appreciably brighter, and seemed to burn out rather quickly. After I tried...
After 5 years of lurking...my first post!
I think I fall somewhere in the middle of this discussion...
I agree that modern styled replacement headlamps may look out of place on a TriFive;...
