Just go to the dealer and buy em...If you need any more help send me a pm and I will take some pics of my set up and send them to you.SO....all you need is a battery tray from a diesel truck that mounts itself to the firewall and then make your own wires

CHEVRACER83...thanks for the faxed pics...
from the pics, it looks as if the bracket (15727997) attaches where the firewall end of the existing brace does and the tray (15246518) attaches where the fender end of the existing brace does as well as where the bracket does...so it does appear that the tray could be used w/o the bracket...unless the bracket serves some other purpose...of course, the firewall end of the tray may need more support and that may be where the bracket comes in...

Post up pics when you are done. Let us know how the install went. I'm really interested in doing this to my truck too.

How much work is going to be involved in moving the wiring over to the battery in the new location?
