Fuse box.

Hey guys my 68 ranger has the old a$$ round fuse fuse box. It seems like all the wires were just spliced and slid in behind the fuse. half a$$ed. What should I do?? Is there a fuse box I could use that would work, maybe off an f 150 from he junkyard or something? Thanks !!

They have small auxilary fuse boxes you can buy in the parts stores. They take the modern type fuses. They are usually hanging on the rack with the fuses, relays, and flashers.

Hate to say this...

The old box is working fine.

The round fuses are dirt cheap.

Have you check the prices for mini-blade fuses?

Why bother changing anything when it works?

If you are needing extra circuits there are a lot of auxilary fuse blocks available with various number of circuits.

Here are some options, you could mount on the firewall under the dash. Just run a wire heavy enough to handle the combined load from the battery to the block with a circuit breaker on the battery end.
