anyone use one of these have pictures or advice on placement was trying to get as far back as I could under the SWB fleet bed but looks like I might have to go under the cab where the frame is straight ??

I didn't use a drop down but just a fairly standard battery hold down. Pic of my 68 with the battery just back of the cab mounted on the frame rail. I made a couple of 90 degree brackets and bolted them to the frame. Then the battery tray to the brackets.

thank you for posting this can I ask how you ran the positive cable back to the battery making a 90degree turn from the starter shouldn't be a problem run on inside of the frame I was thinking of drilling through the frame and adding a rubber grommet or easier to go over the top of the frame between the bed with protection for rubbing through im open to recommendations
thanks

I've since sold the truck but I believe I went over the frame rail with pos cable to the main stud on the starter. I like using the rubber lined cable clamps to hold the pos cable in place. No pics.
If you decide to go thru the frame rail I wouldn't use a rubber grommet. I would use a thru the frame rail cable isolator. See pics.
