One of my truck pulling buddies started up a fab shop, so I had him build it. Our goal was to make it look good enough that it didnt look like a cobbled up mess. It DID get a little more $$ than I would have liked, but kept me from buying battery boxes, new cables, etc as my old man cobbled a frame on the side of the tractor years ago. When it was all said and done, I had as much in it as new boxes, cables, and batteries. I used a group 31 truck battery, which is about the same price as a good 3ET.
We did decide, that if we did it over again, we would have probably used 1/4" on the back and lid, and something lighter elsewhere. We also wish that we had made it 1" bigger in every dimension.
This conversion should have happened a LONG time ago. You will like it. It is 40ยบ here today and raining, and it started up with just a sniff of go-go juice. Before, it would have to be plugged in to start on a rainy cold day.
We did write down all the measurements on this to build another one someday, but I imagine the distance from Ohio to Oregon and the weight of this thing would be somewhat cost prohibitive. Let me know if I can help. | |
