Welcome to the forum

That's a nice clean looking truck.

Yeah, the battery doesn't belong there. Does the tire come up and rub the bottom of the battery tray?

That's a weird spot for a battery. I wonder what the previous owner was thinking. Your positive cable lead to the starter is really long because it has to go from the driver's side all the way down to the starter. For power cables, shorter is always better.

I like where GM put the battery from the factory. It's solidly secured to the inner fender and core support, and it's on the "right" side of the engine compartment.

No rubbing so far if plan going lower I move it . There a lot of things I been wondering what the PO was thinking on this truck. Still can't get past the wire nuts ti splice the wires together.

THey put your battery there cause your rad is wider than a stock one and the battery won't fit where it belongs.
