Where can I find a new battery tray that has two vertical arms that bolt to the firewall? I find plenty with only one support but none with two.

 

Is this the one you are looking for?
Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

 

Not the one at LMC, page 145. Mine has two very strong L shaped brackets that bolt to the firewall. The tray is rotted out. I don't think another mounting would hold the heavy battery. I just saw a 59 restoration with the same bracket as mine but I have not been able to find one online.

 

C0TB-10732-A .. Battery Tray / Obsolete

Applications: 1959/60 F100/600 / No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor nhas any.

 

Thanks for your reply!

 

I think the LMC battery tray replacements with one support bolt to the other original support on the other side with bolts, nuts, washers shown as part# 7,8,9 in the illustration. If your original support is still usable it should work.

 

seacarr i have 3 of them for the 57 - 60, maybe 1 one of them is better than what you have ?, will send you a PM

 

1957/58 F100/600 battery tray is not the same as 1959/60 (COTB-10732-A), and there are two different sizes. One for the 55 amp battery (B7C-10732-C), another for the 70 amp battery (B7C-10732-D).

 

i knew the 57-58 was different than the 59-60 i was going to send a pic to him with the 3 that i have, he mentioned 59 battery tray, Bill you mentioned the 70 amp battery tray was different, you know i need to send you a pic of 2 that came from preston, in fact these all came from pres, i am not sure what the 2 fit maybe thats what they are for the larger battery.?

 

OP's thread title and first post.

 

The 59 parts truck I had was different than the tray in my '60. I was able to combine the two trays and end up with a decent set up though, using the mounts off the '60 and the pan off the '59. Just a heads up that '60's are different from '59 in some cases.

 

Years ago a friend of mine mounted a 1953-56 battery tray under the cab (reproduced) in his 1957 F250 since he couldn't find a correct one.
