I know that some of the S10/15 trucks came with a battery on the drivers side. Does anyone know if the parts to install a battery on that side are compatible with the Ty, and where I can get them if they are?

Odd... I'm 99% sure I've seen this on pickups, but not on blazers

Re: Battery Tray ?
Or, maybe I've seen one that was fabbed... I just saw it on here a few mins ago... so, nevermind me :roll: . I guess this means it's time to create my own tray (this is as good an excuse as any to get a gas shield for my welder so I can make it from aluminum :lol: )

Re: Battery Tray ?
A guy recently posted one from japan that looked pretty nifty....retained the oil filter assy....I moved the oil filter assy. and came up with the following....pretty straightforward and the factory positive cable was long enough, but you must extend the positive line for the headlight harness....also you can buy a battery strap down kit from autozone and retofit it to fit....

It'd be a whole lot easier to do this if I had a nose on my truck... :tup: ... thanks for the pic, should be useful

Re: Battery Tray ?
Not to steal the thread but now I am wondering, if both sides can b eused for a double battery install?
Any thoughts on this? I am about to start setting up a pretty heavy duty sound system and other mods that will suck the juice and require two batteries. Uh oh, just a thought, will two batteries up front screw up the handling? Anyone know what the Ty's front to rear weight ratio is?

Re: Battery Tray ?
The syclone has a much lighter rear so I doubt 2 batteries will make that much of diference, they don't handle that great anyways. Putting 2 batteries is doable, you will have to some up with a place for an air filter. Many people relocate the battery so they can put the air filter where the stock battery is...

Re: Battery Tray ?
Thanks Dave but will this effect a Ty? If I were thinking of this for a Sy it wouldn't be a problem as your right... they could use a little rear end weight. The Ty has got mor weight in the rear.

Re: Battery Tray ?
I think I read this somewhere that Sy is 70/30 and a Ty is 65/35 weight distribution (I might be pulling this number out my butt) The number make sense in that Ty additional weight is 250# all over the rear wheels and it adds up if you do the %'s. Anyways a Ty has 2485# over the front wheels. Adding a Battery would add ~50#'s, This would shift the weight bias from 65/35 to 66/34, no exactly a huge difference. If your really worried remove the additional remove the ABS or do Coilovers...
