    Hey all, I'm doing a little repair work where my old battery tray rotted out. I've sourced a new tray but can't find the tray support bracket anywhere. Anyone have a source these can be bought from, or has a good condition one to sell? If not...anyone come up with their own setup to support the tray? Thanks

    I just found out they made 2 different battery tray brackets for a '72. The change was made on 5/15/72. From what I understand there's a short one and a long one and they mount to the radiator support/frame rail different.
    Maybe someone can tell us which bracket I have and if will fit your Maverick.

    Thanks Thomas,
    Good to know they made two different support brackets, I thought one size fit all. I'll compare your picture with whats left of my original one tonight and see if I think it'll work. It sure looks exactly like what I need. And if so, I'll definitely buy it off you for the listed price you PM'd me. Thanks again.

    This is the only pic I can find that shows the difference. Notice the extra hole. They might be more difference that I don't know about.
