Battery hold down - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Peregrine · 10-02-2004, 03:24 PM

Can anyone give me pictures and/or dimensions of a 72 C10 battery hold down? I don't have one and all I need is my battery falling out and grounding. Thanks

Sorry for the poor quality. 4-1/2" long 1-7/8ths at the center. We sell the bracket and bolt for $2.50

Hmm, the rubber strap, sounds like what my lincoln has...does it have metal hooks on both ends?

As a matter of fact, it does. Maybe they came from the same "customizer."
