Cheap fix

I have noticed alot of people spend a ton of money on battery trays, epay or new but if you are not a 100% purist, then a 1999 acura battery tray is the answer. Its a perfect fit. A couple of tack welds and your done. Cost me $4 at the junk yard.

Nice fix, I built a box and spot welded it to the supports, but yours is nicer!

Steel

Dick, I thought you would have scolded me for using jap steel on my truck. Maybe it was made from an old bomb that was made here in the USA.
