Right or wrong, I was told years ago they were fitted arse up for two reasons.
1. The cables hung down naturally.
2. Moisture drained off much easier.
Maybe there are other reasons?
I used the best of both worlds & mounted it sideways.

Man that looks good...love the colour!
You won’t lose that in the Bunnings car Park...
That's true, but it was difficult for the smoke to escape naturally upwards.
Been a while since I have had 2 minutes to work on the old landy
Looked at the tub a while ago to plan the repairs but unfortunately the tub was too far gone a combination life on the farm with fertiliser stored in causing massive corrosion throughout and spotwelds coming away on the side panels due to ware and tare
So until a good tub becomes available i will be making it a cab chassis so fitted up the rear bulkhead as a test needs a bit of tinkering to fit correctly then I will remove and repair then paint

Remember - the adjustable bit is the firewall, and the gaps have to fit the doors!

Well since it’s nice 32 degrees thought I would make the spacers for the truck cab and test fit and align bulkhead and doors
Well sometimes you have luck passenger side perfect gap strait up drivers side one small washer in bulkhead foot and that too perfect gap
Next job when time permits strip down doors rear bulkhead and paint
