Show us Yer Battery!

I put my battery behind the passenger side on the frame. You really need the bed on to do this so you get proper position. I also put a cut off switch along the way to the starter so I can shut the battery off from the rest of the truck. I only left the stereo hooked up to keep the memory. As soon as I get a new bed I will try and have an access door from the top like I did with the temp plywood I used. I also cut out the old battery box indent on the inner fender. I had to cut up a left inner fender to do it but it wasn't a very good one so I didn't feel to guilty.
If you check out my build thread and go to page 5 that is where the battery box starts.

Chevy, did you buy a kit? Or did you fab up your own box? I love the location of that setup. I'm wondering how the weight distribution of the battery in the middle/rear, along with a tank relocation is affected by these two moves.
