Anybody have a pic of the battery mounted to the frame??

I was thinking of either moving my Optima battery to the cab(behind the seat) or to the passengers side of the frame at the back.
Anybody have any pics of this completed?? I just sold the stepside box and don't have the fleetside box built yet so I'm not sure where to mount the brackets to the frame??
Thanks.

I used a CCP drop stainless battery box and optima battery. It is mounted on the frame rail behind the cab on the passenger's side. Picture is not the greatest, but the only one I have at the moment. It is in the down position, when up you can't see it from the side of the truck.

How much was the battery box and how hard was it to install?? I'm leaning towards putting the battery behind the seat in a battery box.

I bought it about 3 yrs ago, I don't remember the cost, but it was easy to install. You can find it at www.classicperform.com
