Battery Tray

[Stylzz]

Where to buy one or how to rig something because mine completely let go last night and thankfully I found it before I drove. Its funny because I had all kinds of shingles and small boards in there supporting the battery and now they are all gone. I wonder what people driving behind me were thinking seeing shingles flying out from my inner fender? 1980 K5, passenger side battery.
Thanks,
Joe

Dealership has them. Or the junkyard.

I just bought mine for my 89K5 and it was almost a C note with frieght and tax--So you might want to try the salvage yards.

the tray is $18.00 and the support is $24.95 here http://www.parts123.com/PartFrame.asp?ZTM=cadehega&GHOME=www.cheyennepickup.com&TITLE=Cheyenne_Pickup_Parts

good luck finding dealership that can beat this price. and don't waste your time at a junk yard looking for a used one these are the first things to rust away.

Please do not use junk to hold up the battery. Use a good tray with the proper bolt-down attachment. The battery is a big fire hazard and can ruin a lot of stuff under the hood if it gets loose. Even for street driving, it's very important to have it secured.

I called the dealer and the tray was $17.00 but wont be here till Thursday. Thats what you get living in a one horse town where the only parts guy at the dealership had today off and they are closed till tuesday. I dont think I need the support if its what I think it is. The piece that comes off the radiator support and also has the coolant over flow attached to it. For now I did patch it up using some plywood I had but I am not driving it except for an emergency.
