I have both battery trays out of a '79.
I am fairly certain that these are NOT reproduction parts. The right vertical support still has part of a GM sticker. Which is why I haven't cleaned them very much for the pictures. There is the adhesive from a sticker on the left tray support, which is similar to the GM sticker. Unfortunately it also has some cracks by the mounting holes.
I can weld that up for a minimal price, or let you do it.
Neither one has any serious rust.
I know that you can get reproduction stuff, but I would bet that these are thicker and fit better. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I want $30 for the right one, and $35 for the left one. Sorry, but I believe that they are too good to let go of for less.
Shipping and fees are in addition to my prices.

I'll take them both as long as they aren't thin or rusted through anywhere.
 
They are both in very good condition.
Would it be OK with you if I blast some of the rust off, and show you what I find?
I didn't want to blast them at all before someone saw what I have to begin with.
 
I did some time with the blast cabinet tonight. I did find a couple of cracks in the one tray that I didn't see before. The broken part of the support brace is very easy to see now. I think that the one tray could benefit from a soak in Evapo-rust.
The blast job is not perfect, but it was what I got done in 30+ minutes.
