What am I missing or doing wrong 70 battery tray

[Kevn70]

So im trying to put this radiator support back together after I replaced my rusted one with another used one. I got a new battery but I dont feel like its lining up right or am I missing something? Ir a wrong part? any help would be appreciated

It looks like you may be missing the support that runs from the bottom of the battery tray to the filler panel that runs from the inner fender well to the front panel.  I know someone was looking for one of those supports and I think Dennis had at least one.

Kevin i think all 3 years are the same. I think and i can be wrong, hopefully someone else will chime in and confirm or set us straight.  I think you have the correct tray and in the second set of pics in the forth pic, the small right angle bracket is what is in the incorrect position. you have to figure the correct position for that to mount between the tray and the fender extension. I think it mounts in the middle of the tray.   Hope this helps!!!

I’m in Denver at a wedding reception and not near a car but I do believe the tray should be sitting at an angle. One of the tray mount bolts are not used. ( the inner one you have mounted to the core support). If I’m wrong I’ll blame it on external causes.

Here is a pic of "Barn Find" with a new tray. I hope it helps.

Thanks. This is probably the best pic someone has shown me without seeing one in person yet lol.

Wow it makes me very happy inside to see that Tom MC1of80 is still helping out here on the site. He passed away almost 3 months ago. I miss him but it's the small things like this that help.
