I assume you're referring to 4WD battery trays.

C5TZ-10732-C .. Battery Tray / 1965 F100/250 4WD / 1965/66 F350/1100 / 1966 F250 4WD // 1965/69 N500/750 without step fuel tanks.

GRIESEL MOTOR CO. in Okarche OK has ONE = 405-263-7242.
-----------------------------------------------------------
C6TZ-10732-A .. Battery Tray / 1966 F100 2WD & 4WD / 1966 F250 2WD

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Hmmm, I do believe the 65 and 66 trays (2wd) are indeed different. It's been a while since I have compared.

Correctamundo Mr. Wilkerson, but the 1966 F100/250 2WD tray is the same as 1966 F100 4WD.

OP's user name is 664x4drvr .. so I assumed he was referring to 4WD battery trays.

Thanks for your reply, you guys are top shelf with your input. Yes 4X4 but, I assume 1966 f 100 4x4 is same as 2wd . My radiator support came from california in 1985. $35.00... I knew they were rare then. I didn't care if it was 65 or 66. Saved it til now. My battery box doesn't bolt up. Guess I will modify it

Bet you don't find it to be a huge undertaking either.

As I recall, the 66 F100 4WD for whatever reason use the 65 2WD core support and thus the 65 2WD battery tray...Are you in need of one ??

Did'ja read the applications I listed in Post 2? Guess not.

Text, Section 106, Page 10 = C6TZ-10732-A .. Battery Tray ~ 1966 F100/250 2WD / 1966 F100 4WD

I didn't list the following because it did not pertain: C5TZ-10732-A .. Battery Tray ~ 1965 F100/250 2WD

I did read the applications...the fellow FTE member here who bought one about a year ago had asked about what I thought a couple of holes were in his. Turned out to be original owner mods for ranch use. In doing the inspecting I was thinking somethings not quite right... Big 'ears' on the core support... definately a 65 unit.... Never wrecked etc and all OE tins...
You, of all people, Bill know I know the correct application of the supports... It may have an early build but its a original 65 model year 2wd piece in it.

My battery box holder, which I captured over the years because it fit a 65/66 , is for a radiator support with big ears ( which my support does NOT have.) which is what caused this post in the first place.

Makes me wonder if you might have an older one that mounts on the firewall?
