Pictures? and it is for sure the D/S tray?
My old (not age) neighbor to the north of me. He may still have some GMT 400s on his huge site. All Ontario Recycling. (can google it). When all this snow and slop ends, I can try and look for your parts. No charge to you, ( I will pay for everything) my reward will be foraging in an automobile junk yard again. Must get another tetanus shot first! All Good

Is the driver's side battery tray you're looking for plastic? I got one yesterday at the yard that is, came out of a 98? pickup with a 5.7. Fits similar to the storage box. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow.

I’ve got one of those too, I checked and it’s a different part # and looks to be just different.

The 95 and older one is all metal. The 96+ one is plastic and has a different #

yeah the lower support is different.
I never expected to see a NOS one lol. But for $35 I have it in my cart. I need to get a few other things from the flea bay too.

Yup that looks like the one I got, except mine still has both of the tabs that lock into the vapor canister bracket ( on the engine side). I also have the fasteners for it.

i wonder if i can get that vapor canister bracket though hmm i may have to look into that more, the tray you found is more prevalent than the one i am looking for.

Yeah... 15031561 reinforcement is discon and i probably wont be able to find it. I still may do a remote mounted battery(bed mounted)

It's funny, they didn't have near as many 400s in that yard as they did last year. The truck I got the tray from was the only one that had it, and it was a 5.7 engine. Are you looking for the earlier style?

If I can find one, yes. I'd prefer the all metal one, If I can't find it I'll continue with the bed mounted battery idea.
