Suggestions for a Fuse Box?
I've got a '36 Ford Pickup I'm keeping pretty well original except I've converted it to 12 volt. I saw Mac's has a wiring harness (68-11647) for the tail lights, headlights and fuel tank and was looking at getting that when I get around to wiring those up.
Main question I had was I figured I ought to put a fuse box in there and wasn't sure if anyone here had any suggestions on one I might get? |

I like the Ron Francis bare Bonz fuse box. It's compact and takes the modern mini fuses.
I used one in my 37. |

Re: Suggestions for a Fuse Box?
What I did on my '35 and '36 was set-up a pair of panels behind the left cowl panel. Rather than having one fuse as Henry did, I now have every electrical circuit (except primary engine wires), fused. Having the electrical panels hidden behind the cowl panel still gives the appearance of being original yet produces a measure of safety and easy diagnosing if something goes awry.
Other than the wiring probably the cost was less than $10. Oh yes, there was no need to cut and spice the original wire looms. Tom |

In my '41 I used a panel from a Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable. Mounted on passenger side, away from traffic. It mounts to the bottom edge of the dash and folds up under the dash, out of the way

Speedway sells them. Very basic and priced right.
