Where to install battery disconnect?

[sporkfed]

I'm trying to install a switch like this:

But I don't see any hardpoints to bolt it to near to the battery. I'd rather not bolt to the plastic battery tray. Does anyone have a suggestion of where to mount it?

Would suggest fabricating a bracket that mounts to the radiator core support. Really limited due to the BS inner fenders Ford decided to use.

I believe there is a bolt on the side of the passenger fender near the fuse box that you can use to mount a fabricated bracket to.

You could get a switch like this that mounts on the battery post. I had one like this on my Jeep.

If you put it in a place that isn't accessible from outside the truck, you'll have to use your manual key and turn the lock since your electric locks won't work. That would be quite inconvenient for daily use in my opinion.

I found this on Amazon, I think it will work well.
