The old battery tray on the 61 was pretty rusted and too long. It actually was making contact with some of the A/C components on the 4.6. Spent a good part of a day at the salvage yard trying to find something that would fit and not made of plastic. I salvaged a tray out of a newer Yukon. I used the attached braket it came with and modified it to work. I used the existing holes in the fenderwell to bolt the tray in. Looks almost like a factory piece.
