Fuse block

Hi all,
I'm nearing the wiring phase of my 56 panel truck project and need some opinions...of course pics are always great. Where do you guys with the mid fifties usually mount the fuse block? This will be a driver, not a show truck, so function over form is okay. I plan to eventually have a/c..either a vintage Air with ducting and such or maybe just an under dash unit. My plan is to use the original parking brake lever, so space might be tight...Thanks for your help.

I just found a convenient accessible spot above the toe kick to the left of the steering that already had a hole punched thru the firewall I could run a bolt thru. It's only an 8 space fuse holder, so I still have the option of moving or upgrading it if i want. My beastie aint no show truck either, but I abhor making new holes and changing too much.
