I've seen quite a few pulling trucks catch on fire and a few of those burn to the ground.

Was thinking of running with 2 ext. One in cab and one in the bed.

Just simple little B/C types. My question is for the cab, I plan to make a bracket that will house my ECM and TCM side by side in the cab, more than likely on the tunnel.

So where woul you put that one, want it accessible obviously? May have to mount the ECM and TCM more towards the rear of the truck and keep the ext right by my leg.

i can get you a bracket we use at work, mounts to the floorboard behind the drivers seat, or on the side for a small extinguisher.

I have the ext already josh.....but if the brackets are metal, might be interested in them, if they will fit the ext I have.

Didn't realize they were plastic when I got them.
