A friend asked me to help with his Rampside. Lots of experience on cars, but this is first truck.
Problem area is the battery box, drivers side near the tailgate. Battery is sitting loose, seems to be on the bottom of the fenderwell. Seems like there would be a support of some
of some kind, but nothing there.
Any pictures available of how this battery is supposed to be installed?
Thanks in advance for your help

Should be a battery box bolted in which would support the battery at about 2 inches from lid to top of battery.
