You could also turn your muffler 90* and or put another little bend farther up to make it route a few inches closer to driveshaft. If you turn your muffler vertical it gives you more room between frame and driveshaft. You could poss turn your battery 90* also by the looks of it.
Seems too simple haha. I keep reading of noxious gas issues with batteries inside the cab. I def have the room and could probably vent a battery box through the old fuel fill hole in the cab since I haven't done anything with that yet.
