Hey all, I'm looking to move the batteries down to the frame, has anyone on here done this or seen it done?

I'd like to clean up the engine bay a little and move my intake to a better spot for airflow. Thanks!

 

Never heard of this. Don't know where you would put them.

 

I moved one of my batteries to the frame when I did the conversion. I built a steel tray to hold an aluminum battery box I got at Summit. It's mounted on the inside of the driver's side frame rail, right in front of the fuel tank. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of it.

I believe there is also room on the outside of the passenger side frame rail for a couple batteries, but I already have on-board air there, so that location was not suitable for me.

I also know that the WOP race truck has their batteries mounted on the frame rail.

 

Been thinking about that for a while... Clean up all the crap under the hood

 

I think the E series SD's had one of the batts mounted on the frame. There should be a part number for it.

 

Ok, they do have them, I just cant find a part number for it. It seems the gassers came with the option of an aux battery on the frame. I'm gonna PM Ed and see if he can dig up a number.

 

10732 = 4C2Z10769AA catalog says it comes with the heat sheild 10A682

Thanks Ed.

 

You are welcome!

 

Wow thanks a bunch. I have heard about the aux batt as an option but have never seen and part numbers or diagrams. I think two OEM battery trays for you price my be a little steep for me to have it to say I have it, however that is an awsome price compared to list.
Appreciate everyones input!

 

a guy in the 94-97 forum built his own tray to mount both battereis on the frame rail, looks pretty good.

 

Joe, do you have the link?
