Anyone have a toolbox on the fender under the hood?
 

Does anyone have a small toolbox mounted on your front inside fender? I don't think GM ever put those on as an accessory but I think a lot of owners added them themselves especially the camper special owners

I mounted one under the hood of my '71 4x4. Works great for holding a quart of oil, P/S fluid, oil rag, etc. Same tool box as GM put under the hood from the factory late 90's I think it was. Give me a day or two and I can get a pic posted. :chevy:

Yep and they're amazing, one of my better ideas.

Been real convenient out there on the road over the years too.

I've seen it done -- especially on K/5s which don't have a lot of room in back.
Best option is a USGI surplus .50 Cal. Ammo Can. You can even attach a padlock hasp on the front if you get creative.

That's a great idea.
I have one from the Jeep used to keep spare parts in.

If your intention is to do some serious off-roading then a heavy-duty latch would probably not be a bad idea.

My truck rarely goes off the roads around here so a typical tool box with a simple latch has always been perfectly adequate for me and a simple generic tool box has the added benefit of a removable tray on top to keep the small parts, screws, bolts, etc from getting scattered among the larger tools below.

I would imagine a .50 caliber ammo can would work very well, but the ones I have are for...drumroll please...ammo. :lol:

I think it's time for an engine bath. :o
