Here is an option I've seen online. Some of the old venders used to sell an inner fender with the battery box like this one, but I've not seen one for sale in years.

Battery location
How about in the rear portion of the right front fender.
This is how I did mine
Just a suggestion

I used a polished stainless drop down box, I did not want the battery in the engine compartment..however I am still using a bench seat, I have the carpet cut and a removable piece of carpet to get access, the drop down box alone is ok, but if you need to jump it, it's a pain. If you don't mind it in engine compartment go with it mounted at the firewall. just my opinion

Here is an inner fender mounted battery box that my buddy installed in his truck. The box is chrome so it is a little difficult to see in the picture but it looks real nice in the truck. I was always a bit concerned about placing that much weight in that location since the inner fender is not made for it...that said, it seems to work.
