Battery Relocation Questions

Has anyone relocated the battery out of the engine bay? If so where did you put it and do you have any pics of it?

Re: Battery Relocation Questions

There is a kit sold by an outfit on the West Coast that sells a battery box that mounts on the frame under the bed. I don't have the web address available right now, but I can get it later.

Cool I'm wanting to free up that space for ram air tubes after I convert to tuned port.

Try www.nwautofab.com This guy has a fair amount of things for the older trucks. Including a battery box, I believe.

Re: Battery Relocation Questions

Got mine in the bed in a uncovered battery box, no problems, but i get little to no rain or snow here. Just had to move it when i pulled the wheel wells. It took about 30 minutes.
