12v battery size

I’m converting my 1952 F-1 to 12 volt. Does anyone know what group size of 12 volt battery will fit in the stock tray?
Thanks for your help

Many use Group 25 or 35 batteries to replace the 6V group 1 battery. The group 25 and 35 are the same size, just have the polarity of the posts reversed from each other. You need to determine which post polarity arrangement works best in your space.

Thanks so much for the help guys. I was looking at the group 35 size but didn’t realize the 25 was the same with posts reversed.
I always get great help from this forum. Thanks for time taking to read and reply.
