Great find!

Post by Nick Bombini »

Well, I just got home from Tower Park (an MV meet here on the west coast) and I am very happy to have found a 352 battery box cover. I was going to try and make one but I haven't been able to find any pictures. It's a good thing I didn't try to make it because it is much different than I thought. I still can't believe I found it.

I am going to take detailed pictures and measurement just incase anyone else ever needs to make one. I will do that when I get home again. I am leaving to go and see my oldest brother before he is redeployed to Iraq.

That is what makes restoration so much fun. When you find those scarce parts really makes you proud and your heart beat faster. Great find and good luck on your truck.
