Where's the slackers at? Been busy with my Dodge. Straight 6 go glug glug, whistle whistle.

Anyone know where I can buy battery cable by the foot locally?

I normally just go to a welding supply shop. You will need to measure your current cable OD. You could have 2 gauge or 2/0. Same numbers big difference in sizing and load ratings. Thought that was the southern truck but I'm told no.

Welding lead at your local welding supply.
Some truck repair shops also sell it, and can crimp/solder ends on.

What @timg said.
If you need an eyelet on the end, get those from the welding shop too.
Put a length on heat shrink on the cable. Clamp the lug in a vice, strip the cable to fit into the lug. Use a small propane torch, fill the entire lug with solder, while still liquid, jam the cable in. Let cool, cut off excess solder spill and heat shrink. It won't pull apart ever..

lol how long do you need

I'd like to have a little extra just in case but probably 7'. Actually for the alternator wires that the previous owner decided to chop off so that he could install an external voltage regulator.

Nope, not the southern truck. This one came up locally and was a pretty good deal. It's a 1997 with a 12 valve. Old man special. It has a little rust on it but not much. I wouldn't be surprised if it was from out west because it has California emissions on it and it has so little rust.
