Where is your AD battery

[mr48chev]

Batteries much larger than the stock six volt won't fit very well in the stock location and are often hard to get in or out.
I've had one on the firewall at one time and hated it. Ugly zit taking up room in the engine compartment that sometimes lets corrosive stuff drip on the nice new valve covers. Ok for a farm truck where you need easy access to the battery but not ok on a custom truck that you show with the hood open.

This time around I'm planning to put a wooden tool box looking box at the front of the bed made of the same wood as the floor. It will hold the battery on one side and tools and other truck supplies on the other. That isn't for everyone I full and well know but I don't want the battery under the floor or in the engine compartment.

nice touch, i have a 7up cooler from the 50's that I'm going to mount in my bed, has a lock on it and plenty of room for a few tools.

I am putting mine under bed just behind cab pass side, will use a race car disconect so you dont have problem shorting when removing, also have remote battery access under hood for jumping or timming light
