What size battery do I need for my 59 Dexta...550 cranking amps doesn't seem to be doing the job.

That 550 amp will crank it okay in 90 degree weather but you need a 1000-1100CCA.

If there is a Freightliner dealer near you their 1050amps are on sale nationally for $50. I have always used a 1000 to 1150CCA in my Super Dexta and it cranks down to 20-30 degrees without the primer or glow plug. The bigger batteries will fit your space and will spin the dexta engine like a window fan.

You are right about it cranking it in 90 degree weather...cranked easy the other day at 70 but anything lower it won't. Am going to get the larger battery before I go changing anything else.
Thanks

What shape is your starter in? My Super Major was turning over slowly, a new battery didn't help at all, but a new starter made a huge difference.
