F250 dual battery info here:
I finally got around to installing a second battery on my F250 today. I thought that some of you might be interested here's some details and pics.
I bought an oem ford under body mount box (from an E series psd) I choose the inside of the drivers frame rail between the transfer case and fuel tank for the location, I used 2 x 1/4" flat stock and welded these 2 plates to the frame rail

I then installed a standard 65 series battery (the same battery the truck takes) in this box

Here's what it looks like all done

I have all parts #'s used, if anyone needs for info let me know.

Hey that's pretty sweet. I added that box to my '99 E350. Good solution. FYI: I had a yellow optima in there for 5+ years and it was in great shape when I took it out. The fancy battery cable clamps I had on there were kinda a mess, but I cut them off with a grinder and still use the battery that was in there today.

Nice job... what year is the truck? I was thinking about getting the diesel 2nd battery holder ('05) to install second battery - unfortunately it's $70.00 for one stinkin bracket. Have template made for rolling my own, just no time. Also looks like the air intake wart is in the way - anyone know what thoes things are for?
