This is my set up with drop down boxes. Raised the tank also so that it wasn't showing from the rear.

Just put this box in today. Located below firewall behind front tire. Its easy to get to with my tilt front.

Love the battery location. Brilliant!!!

I especially like the battery cover.

I've been thinking of a way to mount a battery behind the rear tire on my AD truck. Your post gives me more inspiration. I'm thinking a lightweight battery like a Braille or Dyna Batt would be perfect.

Thanks whitedog76. With the tilt front it just seemed like a good place to put it. Good luck on yours. There's a bunch of good ideas and builds here. Lets see more.

I really like this idea and had the same thoughts on my 53 but i'm far from this point right now. I would really like to see this finished out. The only difference I was thinking was to make the whole filler panel hinged to tilt rather than cuttingh the center out. And also welding a small storage box right beside the battery for some jumper cable storage or tool storage.
But I really like this location.
