Not sure about relocating everything else, but you could just put the Batt in the cab and still run it like a dual battery setup.

go to the junkyard and find a 96 to 99 and get the batt tray out
you will need to move the canister to the side and get that bracket

too. i made my bracket fot the tray then i found out the 96 to

99 had this set up i even got the windshield bottle thats under

the tray so i took the top mounted washer bottle off and use that

space for the alarm siren and relays.

also get a stinger pac-200 relay to put between the two batteries so they won't discharge each other. don't use a battery isolator.

Dont use an Isolator? why not?
also what is the Canister used for that u have to relocate?
Would it be best to get a high output alternator or run duals?
i like the thoughts of a high output better cause of using the same length belt...I plan on goin to the local Truck Farm and pickin up a few items off a wrecked truck..so any help would be greatly appreciated

you loose some voltage going through it thats why it has heat

sinks on it .

the canister is part of the emissions for the gas vapors in the tank.

are year trucks take the small case alts and you can't get a 250 amp small case alt . you will have to change a lot of things to get

the big case alt in that spot. it would be easyer to do the dual alt set up.

yeah thats my pics
