I have a '95, and I'm on my third pair of batteries, one of which is a special order. I have a major space issue, and wish I would have moved both engine bay bateries to down on the frame rails, as well as a tray for the (2) coach batteries that now reside under the goucho style bed
$55 each and super-complete (in tact lids, cables, clips and hardware) like these, is a good deal!
The CL ad has good pictures of the passenger side frame rail mounting. I also think I've seen a youtube video, it's worth a search
I took a couple boxes from a couple different E series vans at Pick-N-Pull (missing the lids, like usual).The box and clip hardware fit factory holes in the passenger frame rail, common in the three vans I looked at. Makes sense, dril every frame rail, and bolt up a box when the factory build requires it. For more than 1 box, you might have to drill holes depending on location you want to put them. The frame rails are 3/16 thick on the E350's if I recall, I recommend center punch, 1/8"-3/16" pilot drill, then desired size drill, use very sharp drills and a lot of pressure, the location has you drilling 'out of body position' with your arms over your head.
