Re: Project "Financial Burden": 1968 SWB C10

I searched for quite some time for a remote mount battery option. I wanted something sturdy and subtle. It seems like most of the aftermarket battery trays are setup for a floor mount or they carve the manufactures logo on the side which I wasn't a fan of. I finally stumbled on the fact that large GM passenger vans have an optional second battery mount on the frame rail. They are inexpensive, well engineered, and stamped from heavy gauge material. I thought this looked like a more factory appearing option. I had to modify the mounting ears and fill in the original holes to make way for new locations. It's mounted on the passenger side frame rail just behind the cab corner. The bottom of the tray is above the level of the bedside so you will not see it in a side view. I'm really happy with how it turned out.
