Chevy & GMC Vans

Ok I want to get to the electrical in my van this week but i can't think of a good place to mount the 2 fuse blocks i want to add to handle all my accessories (and future one as well) I intend to eventually move the battery to the rear of the vehicle and add a couple. The only place i can think out is right behind the drivers seat under the window but that makes for a long wiring run to anything mounted in the dash. Any comments would be appreciated i couldn't find a better spot under the dash and don't want to put it in the engine bay (already cramped enough in there)

Good thread! I need a spot under the hood for an extra fuse block, but it's pretty tight in there.

If you want to hang on until I get some angle iron stock-I am going to post how to fit two batteries side by side in the stock under the hood location.

Its pretty cramped in the footwells what style blocks are you using?

Two batteries side by side? That would be amazing. I though about a way to stack them and finally mounted mine in the rear right quarter panel where the jack is stored. I am working out a modified cover and outside vent the battery. I would mount the second fuse block will go under the dash next to the existing fuse block. I think there are enough open bays on the OEM fuse block to add the accessories I need. Still working out the details.

Yeah-not on the top of the list,but I measured it and it looked do-able.I'll open a thread when I start it.

I need a sealed block with common input rated to 40A. eBay seems like a good source.

It looks like you could mount it in a small pelican box, http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1015, and drill/seal a whole for the wires to pass through. Then you can mount it near the battery under the hood.
