Keep It Clean Universal Fuse Panel Install - Wire Any Truck

To avoid future splicing additional connections in, or having to reroute the chassis harness, it is best to decide in advance how the truck will be equipped. Considerations must be made for where things (relays, accessories, regulators) will be placed. The stock heater is ugly and it wants to die.

With the heater removed we can clean up the firewall, and gain better access to the engine to service it, or make future modifications. Not to spill the beans, but look to future issues of CCT to see how wild and pretty this little 327 will end up.

Removing anything that restricts access or vision will make routing the wiring harness a lot easier. This is also a good time to consider any future modifications.

Planning ahead saves money. Instead of wasting a new re-pop glovebox because we found we needed more clearance, we knew ahead that Classic Auto Air's A/C Perfect Fit system included this special glovebox insert.

Speaking of Classic Auto Air, this photo shows the entire Perfect Fit unit will slip under the dashboard. Before the A/C is installed, the wiring harness will go in. This is also good time to look real close for rust damage to the inner firewall.

In the spirit of less weight and looking a lot cleaner under the hood we are going to give Performance Distributors new super compact Dyna-Batt a try. We could hide it just about anywhere, but if we need to go to a bigger battery it will be best to be able to use the same location (no wiring changes needed).
