Got a little more work done. Here's a shot of the frame behind the rear differential. Looks like a good place to hang a couple more house batteries.
So, I got some 1.5" x 3/16" angle. Did some cutting and welding. Came up with this design:
The forward upper end of the rack I have clamped to the lower section of the truck frame. There weren't any holes in the frame in that area and I really didn't want to drill any to do this. There are holes in the truck frame right above where the rear portion of my battery rack is so I used them to hang the back of the rack using threaded rod.
