    Default barrman : Something Not Green

    Something Not Green
    Post by barrman on Aug 31, 2006, 8:51am

    I moved my battery for the 5th time in 5 years last night.

    When I got the truck it was 12v with two batteries in the stock location. I went to 1 on the driver side front fender so I could make my center console.

    Then I added power steering to the stock 230 and moved the battery to the passenger side fender parallel to the engine.

    Then I added a V8 and had to make a new mount for it to sit in the same basic spot but now parallel to the radiator.

    Then I added OBA and built a firewall mount for the battery.

    Now I am trying to install a stock type hvac and need the firewall clear. So, I put it behind the passenger seat.


    This spot clears the vent window when it is stored on the straps pictured. It allows my Mazda seats to go back all the way and the stock seats fit just fine too. I don't have top bows, so I don't know if they will still fit or not in their storage spot. There is enough room and clearance with the stock seats for one to fit behind the drivers seat as well for you guys still running 24V and wanting to move the batteries.

    I mounted a rather large box that just fits under the troop seats in the bed and leaves less than a foot on each side...the group 31 1/2 batteries I use are in one end and the rest is open for tools/chains/straps....works nice for me...

    Aha. Mine are in the stock battery box from the cab, just relocated to the center/front of the bed.
