Does anyone know of a company, or somewhere I can get a replacement battery tray from? Mine is quite corroded and rusted.

I know I will have to drill/cut my old one out, and weld in a new one.


Then I will have to get a correct size battery too

 

when i did mine on the 82, i just braced the underside of a piece of sheetmetal and used that.

*shrug*

 

Wont work, the tab that holds it down is rotted away. Battery just flops around.

 

i think classic industries has a replacement....im not home right now, so im not totally sure.

 

Dale here are some links with info you may find useful. Links to companies and even a part number or two.

I need a battery tray

Have you considered relocating the battery to the trunk area instead?

Best of luck!

 

Hey, just want the DR ordered

Sorry, chessy, but I had to say it. Thanks for the links :hail:

After hearing about all the venting I would have to do, to install the battery in the trunk, plus majorly longer wire, I prefure not to. I know its better for tire spin and weight transfer. My old s10 had the battery in the bed, and I was constanly having problems with the long wire.

 

Just remenber the old welded in battery tray was part of the front fender support. So I would keep that in mine when thinking about a new one.

 

thats why i braced the metal undernieth when i welded mine in.
