My goal is to get the back of the bed looking super clean and nice, the hydraulic pumps will be exposed and so will the batteries thats why i chose to go with side post optimas thats one battery you dont need to hide they can be pretty to look at with that being said

Only have 20" from the front of wheel well to bed panel so if i made a rack that raises it 2" it will give me enough space to mount 2 batteries on each side and clear it.

Attached some angle iron so i can drill holes and secure it to the floor and the optina trays will bolt to them without any bolts exposed, should look like batteries Are free floating but will be very secured.

Re: My 1959 apache project
 

Im having fits using one. No matter what I do, or how I hold my mouth, whenever I go to yank the stud, it either snaps off, or I melt the stud in half trying to get a decent attachment......

Re: My 1959 apache project

Yes ive experienced that myself make sure the area where the stud gun will be making contact its clean bare metal
