Has anyone made a drop out battery box? They do not look too hard to make,just kinda thinking about one. Not sure of how to do the drop.

What do you mean by "drop out battery box"?

I made this from a 3' chunk of angle iron and some flat plate no need for a drop out. I would advise a stone shield like I have on the back side to protect the battery.

Mario. Can you get to the Batt. ok ?
Northcountry. It mounts to the frame under the truck so you can get the battery out of the engine compt. & the battery tray drops down to get to the batt.
