I'm sure this has been asked b4 but after some searching, I am unable to find it.
I need to remove my battery box. I've managed to get the tray up (4 bolts) but for the life of me I cannot
figure out what is still holding the box in.
Help appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello and welcome!
Depends on the condition of the truck. If bubba drilled and mounted extra bolts through the bottom, that's a possibility. Roll underneath to find out.
If extremely rusty, the metal box may have fused to the floorboard. Generous amounts of solvent might break them apart.
Keep us posted!

Ah, so you're saying once the 4 bolts for the tray are removed, in theory, there should be *nothing* holding the battery box down (neglecting mod's by Bubba)?

It's out!
I knocked it around a bit (battery box) with a piece of timber to work it loose. Now time for cleanup (rat nests etc).
Thanks for the help!

Not fubar. Some wire wheel work, some hammering, and a bit of paint should b sufficient. Thanks for the offer.

FYI, my spare battery box now has a new home so it's no longer available.
