1972 Auxiliary Battery Tray - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking at putting in an auxiliary battery in our 1972 C10. The only trays I can find for sale are ones for the passenger side (standard battery tray).

Is the one for the driver side auxiliary tray the same as the standard one on the passenger side?

If not, anyone know where I can find one.

No, they are different, the side plates are reversed. The only place I know to get one repoped is where I got mine. Scotts Super Trucks in Canada.

You can also modify a later model bracket to fit.

Scotts Trucks as above. Very heavy duty powdercoated piece. They are pricey though. Not all holes matched up though on my 68, but believe it was made for later models. Good luck. Take some pics if you reverse brackets on old one.
