Here's a couple more photos of the S-10.

Brian was NOT able to find room for the last 2 batteries in the frame or under the hood. (It's 144V with 6v batts, so 24 batteries total!)

Instead, he mounted the last two on TOP of the others, and cut a hole in the tilt bed so that the bed sets down with the two batteries poking through it!

It's pretty funny because it looks like two batteries are powering the whole truck!
