Adding a second battery tray

I am looking for a second battery tray to add to the drivers side. 1986F150 Spent the afternoon today trying to build one and ended up not getting the job done.

Is there a stock one that is available?
Anybody know where to get one?
Thanks

go to your local junkyard and raid a diesel truck - they had dual batteries from the factory

I looked on LMC truck and they only sell the right hand trays. Junkyard is going to be the best way to do this, since you are going to need some other parts. There are parts that go with it that re-mount the overflow bottle and the washer bottle, since they need to be re-located.

Here are some places in Canada that have some of these trucks sitting around I did a search for places that had the diesel engine, so hopefully they still have the truck there also. Maybe some of them will pull it and ship it to you.
