I do not see in their catalog where they offer a battery tray for the 65-66 F100. Am I missing them somewhere?

65 and 66 use different battery trays. the battery was moved to the front in 65 and in 66 the battery tray was changed when they changed the radiater support. The radiater support wings were removed and the brace that attached to the wing for strenght also went away. Ford then extended the leg of the battery trya down past where the brace was and added more support to the tray. the radiater was then mounted directly to the support instead of having a wing exteding toward the motor.
