That's my next purchase as well. What model/group size did you use and did you have any fitment issues?

Hey guess what? I'm in the middle of doing the same this morning, just came in for lunch. I had to go up to Sears in Billings, MT to pick mine up yesterday. You want the Platinum P-2 group 65s. They fit the battery trays in my '91 just like the original group 65s. If weight means quality, these babies should last forever. they weigh about 60lbs. apiece.
Thanks again, rmcgraw351 for the good advice!
