Need help with selecting a battery

[lenguini]

Looking for some direction on battery cranking power.My truck is sitting at 400hp Tuff Stuff 1.6 hp starter and 105 amp alternator.

Space in an issue,so Im trying to go small with uncertain crank amps I should have.This is not a winter driver...probably 40 degrees would be my coldest day out.


Thanks in advance for your help.
