Battery Relocation

the cranking amps is just what is available, it's not what the starter will actually draw though. There are some cold mornings that this setup would help me out

you will want to take a 1/0 cable to the frame on drivers side, also make sure you put a heavy jumper from the frame to body of the cab. Looks good, if you decide to modify it you cam make the base on a hinge, basically a piano hinge with 1/2 rod and use flatstock for your 45deg brace with either 1/2 bolts or hitch pin setup. That way you would be able to tilt the batts. down to access them.

the jumping part i can crawl under it and get cables on. but i will be putting thos cables on that stay on the battery then it has that big plug on it.
i'm not sure there is enough clearance to put a hinge on them seeings how it's almost touching the bed on the driver side. so i need to just take a small piece of 1/0 from the neg. post to the frame? i'll work on that this weekend. i'm still trying to find a "power strip" kinda thing where you have 1 cable coming in then it has multiple posts on it to run different cables off of. i you know of anything let me know!
