Battery behind passenger seat? Should there be a tray and tie down?

[Diesel mightymax]

So I've got a battery and it doesn't fit in the battery area behind the pass seat. Its a little bit too small. should there be a bottom that keeps the battery in place? and or a tie down I'm not sure if I'm missing a piece or don't have the right size battery. Any thoughts would be appreciated.9996

Never seen one there. But you need a hold down. Just find one that fits. It will work just fine.

At one time Eddietude had that part, don't know if it is still available.

that is the place where a diesel battery goes - pm Mike Warme for the right parts for the battery hold down.

I've got the brackets and the bottom tray that it sits on as well as the removable bed piece for that battery. Let me know what you need. As for the hold down itself you'll have to make one. This was the norm for 84-85 diesels . I remove all the EGR crap from them and saw trays from gassers and weld in where they went on the 83's which is under the hood! This eliminates all that length battery cable. Pretty sure its a group 34 battery
