Re: 68 longbed 5.3/4l60e

In the next picture I went to lowes and purchase a piece of solid aluminum round rod. I think it was 3/8 or 7/16 . Make sure when you mount the box that it is close enough to the radiator support that when you look through the hole on the side mount of the box which faces the radiator support you can see a flat spot on the fender well where it bolts to the radiator support. The aluminum rod will act as a stand/leg. Drill and thread one end of the rod first and mount to the box with small hex bolt. You will want to just place the box on the fenderwell then take a measurement for the leg cut to length. You might have to take leg off several times to cut to proper length take your time as not to end up cutting to short and have to buy new one. Once leg is proper length drill and tap bottom of rod. Drill hole where it touches fender well and run small hex bolt from underside of fenderwell into rod. Now drill the big hole for where that steel wedge and leg mounts. Oh yeah don't mind that water bottle over flow taped to the leg in the picture that's temporary.
