Blade Fuse block

Hey everyone looking for suggestions on a VERY affordable Fuse block for my 76 Highboy. I'm on a very tight budget.. Google etc brings up a million different options.. Hoping someone replaced one and remembers where they got it.

Thanks,

How many fuses do you need it to hold?

Hard to beat that for a budget option.

You can invest time, or invest money, one always makes up for the other lol

I vote for junk yard as a fuse box is rarely sold so it should be almost given to you. Gotta' be 99.9% of cars/trucks are crushed with the fuse boxes intact. Any front end part where most crashes occur, are worth their weight in gold it seems. Gary

Going one wire at a time... Its really pretty easy to rewire a vehicle.

Also, my 75, has 5 fuses lol... So how hard could it be?

Of course I'm sure the 700 Painless kit truly is Painless.

Thanks guys, I might have to hit up a junkyard... Now for a dumb question. Electricity is electricity would any blade style work? Nothing internal on blocks that would pose an issue once I wired it?
