I've run a group 31 on bullnose era pickups without a problem. Now mine doesn't have any hood insulation either.

I'll check that out when I get back to the truck later this week

So are you saying they are too tall ?? DarkOverCast said they fit just fine ?

OR is the problem the OEM Hood insulation ?

EDIT: you could adjust the hood up just a bit so it is even, that won't hurt anything.
Are the batteries sitting all the way down flat in the trays ?

They seemed to be sitting flat it could be the insolation in the hood it has some left but it's missing a lot good thing is my terminals do have rubber covers
