Haven't updated in a while. A combination of holiday shopping and most of my task list being pretty boring stuff. Running wires, head light switch, column switches, taillights.
Today, I tried finding somewhere for the battery. Turns out there are a lot fewer places than I thought. Under the cab just didn't work...too tight between the cab and frame. I then tried the bed. Drivers side has the gas tank...passenger side has the exhaust. ugh. I looked for a bunch of options and most people just don't have the size constraints I do because of body placement on the frame.
Here's what I now have. It's super close to the muffler so I'm worried about heat transferring to the battery. The only really clear place is the very end of the frame on the drivers side. Basically as far from the starter as possible haha. I'm planning on a rear mount gas tank though, so that space may be gone sooner rather than later.
