Get a plastic tray and supports that should stop them from rusting out.

Put bucket seats in, mount them between the seats, then build up a center console around them.

Kidding... Don't do that unless you want hydrogen gas in your cab.

Honestly, if you don't mind the price of them, Optima batteries are the absolute BEST way to go. So far as I know, there isn't a better automotive (or marine for that matter) battery on the planet.

The only disadvantage to an Optima is the initial cost. They are MUCH better for you in the long run though, so they would probably wind up saving you money on the long term.
