Help me find a part?
« on: August 08, 2020, 03:09:49 pm »
Working on what I think is properly described as a 1975 C15 GMC Sierra Classic with 5.8l V8 350, rwd regular cab pick up truck.

I just finished pulling the battery tray (posting in frames/suspension as I believe it serves as part of the bracing for engine bay), pictures attached. This part attached in multiple places ranging from passenger wheel well, to the coolant resevoir. When I search for new battery trays I cant find something that matches this shape. I would like to replace this with something new.  I could probably grind the "tray" part off that is what actually needs replacing & weld a new tray on, but ideally Id like an OEM replacement of the whole piece if possible.

Yes I of course I tried googling this. I also searched the forum. The problem is I am not finding anything that matches this particular shape.  Ill keep searching  but in the meantime if anyone knows something more than "use google"  I would appreciate it.

I am starting to think that my picture is showing 2 pieces. a battery tray, & a battery tray support. But I find odd is for me both pieces seem welded/molded into the same. This is where I need some experienced advice.

Okay, yeah I guess that is what is going on, I am looking at 2 seperate parts. This part looks exactly like the sideways part 90 degrees to the tray holding it up. Which I guess somehow connects to the tray, that part Im not sure about yet.

& then this is the tray I want to buy which again somehow connects to that support, I guess Ill find out.

Got tagged in this if you email me I will check it Monday when we open.
Some things we can ship, so me (like large parts) don't make sense to ship.
