Drivers side battery tray?

[MrBeast]

Does anyone know where you can get a drivers side battery tray for your 57-72 truck, I had a 71 years ago that had dual batteries, I havent been able to find one since.

Any info on this would be greatly appriciated.

You'll have to search the threads, I don't have the link anymore. There's a company that makes them in canada.

PS - as a point of note, and this is important: '67 and '68 trucks DO NOT USE the same core support as the 69-72 do. the auxillary (driver side) battery tray provisions DO NOT exist on the 67-68 core support, so if you have a 67-68 be very well prepared to drill and tap holes for the battery tray.

Looks like you have a '72, but I like to share this little nugget 'o knolwedge with everyone who asks about the aux battery tray.

My '71 GMC didn't have holes for the aux battery tray either. Don't know if that's normal for them or not.
I can tell it was wrecked on that side at some point, so it could be a replacement from an earlier one.

I think there are diff'ces between the 67-72 GMC radiator supports and the 67-68 and 69-72 radiator supports for Chevy trucks.

I know for a fact that the 67/68 Chevy rad support is diff't from 69-72 Chevy rad support. 67/68 doesn't have the bolt provisions, 69-72 apparently does (the rad support mounts are diff't for these two year ranges also)
