1986 F-250

Hello,
I am new to this site and have enjoyed all the info on these old fords. I have been a fan since my father bought a F-250 diesel new in 1984. I currently have an 1984 F-250 and i just bought a 1986 F-250 W/ 84000 original miles. It has an ATS turbo and a US gear overdrive unit attached to the four speed tranny. This truck is really clean. I would like to ask a few questions about battery cables for my 1986. I have been trying to get in touch with some one at custom battery cables but i never get a response. Does anyone know who else can build a set of really good cables? I am currently deployed in Iraq and i will be coming home soon. I would like to order the cables and have them shipped to my house. Then when i get home i can put them on and go. I also would like some good battery recommendations. Thanks!!!

I'm a big fan of the Interstate Battery centers. They can make cables for you no problem and the price is reasonable. My local shop has some in stock.

Another thought is, if you have plenty of length left on the old cables, you can take them to any auto-electric shop and have them put new ends on if the rest of the cable is still good.

I also like interstate batteries. If your in a pinch and need to save some cash, you can buy reman batteries from them. They might not last quite as long as a new pair, but will last a while and get you back on the road again.

Good luck, get home safe.
