when i bought my '53 1/2ton, there was a cutout in the inner fender, passenger side.. when the PO started the truck, he stuck the battery right there and the wires were already routed to that spot. it wasn't difficult at all to move the battery back to it's original spot, i don't see why it would be any trouble to move it from under the cab to under the hood. the only problem would be making/mounting a tray. in all honesty, with long enough wires you can mount your battery wherever you want it. i mounted my battery from under the hood to in the trunk on a previous vehicle.
