Hidden battery box

[GMtrucknut!!]

well after doing some serious thinking , I have yet to come up with any ideas beside a drop down battery box for my 55 second series I think I need some pictures of what others have done with theirs.

I have a fleetside bed, so I was going to mount mine on passenger side right in front of leaf spring mount on the frame where the cab and bed have the seperation. Only place I can think to be able to access it if I need to pull it out. Other option I was thinking is under the passenger side seat on the frame, although I would have to cut a hole in the floor to access it for removal.
These were my 2 places, hopefully someone else will chime in with other ideas or even pics.

Don't have any pictures yet, and I've got an AD truck, but I'm going to relocate the under-floor battery box. Going to keep it under-floor but move it under the bench seat and use a seat frame that has the bench flip forwards for access to what's underneath.

After market drop down unit that mounts to the frame?? Keep in mind access if you need a jump or to disconnect the terminals during storage.

made a drop down box like the aftermarket ones. Made an access door for those times when access is needed but battery doesn't need to be removed. It will still be a pain in the kazoote to remove on the road, but it was my best idea and I couldn't stand it under the hood. I don't have pictures after paint but it looks pretty good.

mine is behind the passenger seat, along with a 10'' sub and 2 amps

i think speedbump has a good idea, but i'd take it one step further and make a door to slide/access the battery in the step
no drop out box, just a tray and a door in the step

Not the best pic but I used an after market drop down box on the passenger side. Will probably do an access door for maintenance.
