Actually open the driver door. Push the seat back as far as you can. Sit in the car facing forward as if you were going for a drive. Now SLOWLY spin around in the seat until your feet are touching the t tops. Now open your eyes and look straight ahead. It’s right there behind the brake pedal. FWIW it will appear to be upside down, but it’s not

In a 78-82, you can see it with the T-Tops still on. Remove the drivers seat (4 bolts), lay with your back on the floor, and your feet under the bubble glass rear window. The fuse box will still appear upside-down, but you can keep your knees bent.

Well I pretty much did it the way you showed in the photo. Except for using a bench, I used a milk carton. So now I have interior lights and a cigarette lighter that works. So thanks for all your help guys. It was greatly appreciated.
