66 Battery tray??
Well the search continues or a 1966 2wd battery tray... So I was looking through some catalogs and found A battery tray for a bronco... It's stamped steel and looks like the base of my battery tray.. Wondering if I can cut out the tray base and weld the base from the bronco not the mounting brackets of the 66.
Anyone know if this would work.. Can't seem to find the dimensions of the bronco battery tray.
Thoughts opinions?

Is it the bottom that is rotted out, and you want to weld the '66 side panels or supports onto a replacement tray?
If so, look at later year trucks, even into the '90s. The bottom part of the tray looked to be the same in the '80s and some '90s.
I tried to add a second battery to my '66 and found the bottom part out of an '89 to be almost the same, even to the rectangular holes for the hooks on the hold-down bolts.
Maybe you can make something like that work.
Hope this helps.
