I made a bracket to mount it behind the right side battery

and used a cover NOCO plug in that has two plugs.

I have one to the battery maintainer and one can be plugged into the block heater in the winter
I filled that area up with a AL frame to hold the relays for the Holly red, the Racor 500 filter/separator/fuel heater, and future power running board relays.
I'm thinking about making a hinged upper level platform for the charger.

The Racor clone is mounted to the side.
Had to yank the OEM jack, but with 35's it would have been useless anyway.
It's still in project mode, haven't addressed the potential flat issue yet.
Did you have to extend the charger leads to reach the driver side battery?

I think if I did it over I would turn it 90 degrees and have the top of the charger point toward the fender instead of the firewall. It would make it easier running the wires to the batteries

I wouldn't suggest glass pack batteries strictly because of the vibrations and bounciness of these chassis. Just regular ol lead acid
AGM batteries are better than regular batteries in high vibration environments. The fiberglass separators keeps the plates from vibrating and shorting out.
