Are you looking for an original tin box ? or the wood box the battery is built in ? Larry Smith made some tin boxes a while back. Darryl Bobzin

Here are the dimensions and flat patterns if you want to make your own to the OEM Ford dimensions. You will need a matching OEM dimension lid, which is press formed and therefore more difficult to make.

Be aware that the recently available reproduction boxes and lids from the vendors are slightly smaller than OEM. This is to make them a better fit to the currently available Group 1 batteries.

Oh, you need the chassis bracket that the box fits into! That's different. :)

That one is incomplete, it is missing the bottom strap that the battery box sits on.

If someone else doesn't step up with one, contact Bob Bergstadt (modelt2001 on ebay) or Mark Freimiller (modelt96 on ebay). Send them your picture so that they know exactly what you want. :)
