Default Trouble Finding Battery Tray (1979 D100)

Hey all,
Started working on my old dodge adventurer d100 the other day and thought the battery tray was top priority due to the rust and corrosion from the battery acid. Had to take off the front grill to get the tray off because it has 4 bolts. 2 in the front grill and 2 in the driver side wheel well. I've taken this tray everywhere, browsed the web and came up with nothing. Any one know of somewhere that would have a brand new one? I can go to a pick a part but I don't think I'll find anything too much nicer.

Or am I left with sanding it down, patching it up and painting it myself? Let me know,
MrNah.

Shouldn't be too hard to get someone to fabricate one out of sheet metal, I wouldn't think. Don't suppose lmc truck has one do they?

i was at our local pick and pull and found a brand new battery tray,was in a 91,same as my 93.
it was painted with a rust preventative coated from what ever company made it. it was a greenish/gray {not satin black like it should be}
so i believe some company must make them,try the dealer.
