I recently bought a slant cab and the battery was mounted on top of the rear bumpers, with a board running across.
I was going to put it back in its reg stay, but the cables were miles long. My pass runningbd had some rot towards the rear, so I swung the cables up through the runningboard and mounted the battery there. I plan on putting a nice box over the batt.
Since I have a spare set of new boards, I saw no harm in doing this with the damaged board. I must say I love the accessibility.
