$25 reward for finding me a tool box door - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mtdave2 · 01-31-2005, 03:59 PM

I am looking for a new tool box door. I would love one of the plastic ones that were made for a while. but, I would settle for one that is rust free. Big order I know, but its worth a shot.

If someone can find me a door that I end up buying, ill give you a $25 finders fee.

thanks

Do you have you old door still? I do not care if it is rotted as long as I can get a shape off of it.

Let me know.

Regards,

Stace

**special-K** · 01-31-2005, 09:44 PM

dennischevytruckparts.com makes and sells this part.I bought one and it is a flawless replica in non-corrosive fiberglass.All hardware included.

mtdave2 · 01-31-2005, 10:04 PM

ill call dennis tomorrow and see if i can get some picts. id hate to spend that much and have it not be up to what im wanting. i did look at his sight when it was mentioned from the other post, but i did not see it. the part number helped.

Staceydude · 01-31-2005, 10:53 PM

Hey John,

How can I get ahold of that door. I will send you a PM to see what we need to do to get the ball rolling.

Does it have any of the hardware so I can see what kind of mounting strength it needs.

I have several ideas on how to go about making it will take a bit of experimenting to get it just right.

Regards,

Stacey

danho · 01-31-2005, 10:53 PM

Oh, and if you do end up buying the one from Dennis, you can keep your money. The offer is cool, but to me this board is all about helping people.

mtdave2 · 02-01-2005, 09:59 PM

well i called dennischevytruckparts, same deal, they USED to carry them. but the price was too much so they stopped making them. so, im back to the start again.

anyone?

Staceydude · 02-01-2005, 10:03 PM

Yeah... Lets try to build the damn things.

Worth a shot.

I hate to do it but I am going to spend money on a door I do not even need just to see if I can build it or not.

I will keep you posted.

Regards,

Stacey

mtdave2 · 02-01-2005, 10:11 PM

let me know what you need stacey, ill help ya how ever i can. if junkyardjohn cant let you use his door ill send you mine. it just that mine had had one modification to the latch.. an upgrade imho, and my door doesnt fit the truck that well for some strange reason....

Staceydude · 02-01-2005, 10:31 PM

Hey MtDave,

Do you have a digicam?

COuld you take a pic of the latch mechanism? I would be interested in a different way to latch these things too.

I have a line on a door, and the inner toolbox. I really need the whole deal to make this work or at least to come up with the best methods.

It may take me a little while to get this rolling as the products can be expensive.

I will keep you posted. But please post a few picks if you can.

Thanks

Stacey

junkyardjohn · 02-02-2005, 12:23 AM

STACY ... I'LL SEND YOU MINE FOR NUTHIN, & IF & WHEN YOU GET THESE DONE YOU CAN CUT ME A DEAL ON A REPOP.

JOHN

Staceydude · 02-02-2005, 12:34 AM

John,

I sent you a PM Last night requesting info o how to get it here.

Let me know

Stacey

Alexis · 02-02-2005, 12:37 AM

Dave, you looking for a OE "old" one? Might have a lead.

junkyardjohn · 02-02-2005, 01:24 AM

STACY ... IT'LL BE ON IT'S WAY IN A DAY OR TWO.

JOHN

mtdave2 · 02-02-2005, 01:36 AM

i would take an old one if it was in reaaaaly good shape and not too much $. im really wanting to fix this prob once and for all....plastic!

ill post some picts soon

Staceydude · 02-02-2005, 01:57 AM

Thanks John, and Dave.

Hopefully we will get something useable for this deal.

I make no promises but will work on it to see what we can come up with.

I may be posting some topics once I get setup asking questions about the door.

I have alot of ideas just from projects I have done in the past. May take three or four runs at it to make one work.

Regards,

Stacey

stllookn · 02-02-2005, 02:16 AM

mtdave2 · 02-02-2005, 02:22 AM

I did a search on E-bay for ya, I'm sure you have also, But 2 lookers are better then one.. BUT, If I come across one, I don't want no stinking finders fee...

RON WOODGEARD · 02-02-2005, 08:19 AM

Dave, PMed you..

**jerry moss** · 02-02-2005, 02:26 PM

i bought a N.O.S. door off ebay several months ago for $435.00 . it was a stupid amount of money but it's only the second N.O.S. door i've seen in over 20 years of messing with these trucks. i too would be interested in a fiberglass door if you get them perfected. good used ones are getting real hard to find around here anymore. all my trucks have toolboxes on them so i grab any useable ones i come across. the other thing hard to find is good hinges.
