who sells a good battery tray?
My 69, like most old trucks has a rotted battery tray. My buddy bought one offf e-bay and it was a flimsy piece of cr@p. We are looking for a good,solid battery tray. Who has good luck with vendors? Is there such a thing as quality aftermarket parts?

Re: who sells a good battery tray?
I bought mine through gmcpauls.com. I believe it is made by tri-plus it is a good piece took a little work getting it in, but overall it is good.

Re: who sells a good battery tray?
I bought one from Kenny's (Tulsa) at a swap meet on Petit Jean Mountain (Arkansas). Used stainless steel bolts that I bought elsewhere and am on my third battery since I put it in. Looks good, still.
Seems like there is one for A/C trucks and another for non-A/C. If I remember right, I bought the non-A/C unit and did a little modifying of the parts to put it together and make it work.

Re: who sells a good battery tray?
retodd, I've had problems with the battery trays on my vehicles also. If I remember correctly, I got mine from the dealer about 15 years ago. Don't know if they still sell these parts.
I did start using a plastic tray on the bottom of the batteries and I haven't had any rust problems since. I don't remember where I got the tray, though... |

Most of the board vendors here sell them. TriPlus is the best for Quality for plain steel ones. You can also get them in stainless steel as well. I have made them out of 1/8" stainless plate as well. Not stock but look good. We sell the stainless steel assemblies for $89.00 You can paint them black to keep a stock look to. Find a board vendor close to you. |
