Can someone post a pic of the battery tray and any brackets for it for a 56 Victoria. This is what I have and I just dont see how it will attach. I am not sure if I have the correct tray. Thanks in advance.
Doing some research it appears as this is the correct tray for a 56, does anyone recognize this tray as correct? Thanks.
My '56 isn't a Victoria, but the second pic you posted looks like the factory battery tray next to my 272.
kgdb, the on you found is the correct one at least for my 56 wagon. Here's a couple of pics of my old one. Where did you find the replacement?
true 56longroof, seems the one initially pictured would be for a 6 volt battery. Perhaps a 55? Not sure on that though.
Here's one in a front clip I have for sale. It's a 56 Fairlane Victoria and it is badged Thunderbird V8.
The picture of the tray that I have turns out to be for a F100, not sure what year. I found another tray in stock but it isnt right either. DIYGUY, that is the correct tray that you posted. If I cant find a 56 tray locally I will just make one out of the trays that I have. Not much about my 56 is original anyways.
These are easy to adapt and use the common group 24F battery found in Fords for over two decades. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sherman-466...ash=item2cb0f703c9:g:MTAAAOSwV0RXs1m6&vxp=mtr
The second picture kgdb posted is the one in my 56 wagon, and the system was 12 volt. I bought a new battery that had. to be custom made because of its dimensions to fit the tray, but it is a sealed unit. A little over $300. if I remember. Wouldnt be surprised if someone adapted the other tray to accommodate a common sized battery.
