Open a Tool Box Dr.-No Latch/No Lock/No Key - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ironhorse** · 01-08-2011, 12:25 PM

Since my '71 4x4 doesn't have the tool box option I don't have a lot of experience with trying to open with doing damage to the door. Have tried to "lift" the tabs which remain by hand with no luck. Like I said, don't want to get nasty and just pry bar it open. Not sure if the door has to much rust to be saved but will offer it on the parts board when I can get it from the truck. Any one with thoughts on how to accomplish this without destroying the door in the process?
