Junk yard tool and stowage part 2

[jlmerie]

I mentioned in a previous post that I had found a 1973 Cheyenne Super truck at a junk yard and it had a driver side tool and stowage box from the factory. I have had several of the 1970-1972 trucks that had this option, but did not even know it was an option on the square body trucks. I got the unit and some pictures for anyone who is interested. It does look like I am going to have to figure a way to get at least part of the bedside to make this work right. Does anyone know what years this option was available? Obviously it was available in 1973. The option does show on the truck's SPID. I feel sure someone on here must have a good idea what years this could be ordered.

The picture that has two tool box doors in it shows the 1973 door next to the earlier generation doors. What you can not see from this angle is the later door itself is shorter than the earlier ones. I couldn't resist leaving the console boxes in the background of the one picture. That is about half of the ones I have. Someday I will get around to restoring some of them.
