Hi,

Right here:

Jerry's Electric Car Conversion and the book Build Your Own Electric Vehicle are both very good, very detailed, and very hands-on.

Answer 5

Cool!  Thousands of people have done this.  Make sure you start with a car you're going to love, that has decent body and interior.

A common trick is to hang the batteries under the truck bed, and have a "tilt-up" bed for easy access to the batteries.
