Battery PN

[hdff]

Does anyone know the Chevy PN for the right ACDelco battery for a 71 C10 with a 402 and AC

Mine is a 1970 so at a minimum you likely have side-post rather than top-post, and it could be different entirely. But it's a 402 w/air, so close.

I believe R59 without the HD battery option.

The Delco Remy catalog shows the HD T60 battery as the R71S.

My belief is that the TP2 aux battery was always just an R59.

Here's a picture of mine with an R71S main and R59 aux. Pardon the clamps and caps in the second pic, just a quick one when I installed it. But I don't see a lot of other answers, so that's the best I can do!

I got mine from this guy - a little cheaper than the catalogs and actually answers emails with questions and looked stuff up for me, so here you go: restorationbattery@cinci.rr.com

first let me start by saying that engine compartment is SWEET!
I have seen those oem looking batteries and they are nice but pricey. I guess what I was looking for is the correct p/n to go to the gm dealer and get a battery. their books do not go back far enough to look it up. and I have top posts like yours.
