additional passenger restraint for twins.
Sorry OT.
Looks like an OEM van battery tray to me. Did you also use the van battery cables, Josh?
Nice work.
Nice work.
Bat Box
It looks like you could probably see the battery box from the side if you were looking? Especially on a lifted truck? Thanks for the pics.

Not sure if the vans use it or not. I think it's original purpose was for the third battery on the military Silverados. I cut and spliced more cable onto the stock cables.
The third pic is what it looks like from the side. I don't think it's really noticeable on my truck at stock height with the steps on it, but it might be more so on a lifted truck.
I fugured it would have a PN as well. I asked my friend that works in the parts deparment to find it for me and get me a price but he never did. Maybe its time for some phone calls
Question:
If we relocate a batt do we have to have a batt. disconnect when racing?

If you move it you are supposed to but just tell them is was a factory option installed by the dealer
The truck came with 3 bats and you took one out haha

its an OEM part off of the LSSV dmax's.
Looks like it would be a PITA to change the battery when it goes bad. Thanks for the pics. Now I know where it goes when I win the lottery and buy some twins.

Not really. The whole box drops down. If I recall correctly, there are three bolts/nuts. Loosen two and remove one and the whole box can be set on the ground or whatever.
I posted a pic of the van factory battery in my albums if anyone wants to see it. I can take more/different angles if you need it
who makes the battery tray? also j/w whats with the tow strap on the frame rail?
Thanks
Thanks
GM makes the tray, but I don't know the part number. It's been posted a few times. A search will probably turn it up. The strap is a ratchet strap that is holding my transmission since the engine is out of the truck.
