got to brag about my new alum toolbox - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got to brag about my new alum. tool box I got today a tractor supp. I was there to get some wire for a fence, and as usual look at the tool boxes. I had just looked at the ones like I got and they were $399, and told my dad I wish I could afford one. They are the large diamond tread top with smooth polished sides. Well, we went down the back isle and I could see in the stock room and there was one of the boxes with vinyal lettering from a contractor (a return). So I asked the stockboy if they had any damaged boxes they could sale and he said the one for $50 he would check for sure. When he came back he said they would take $40 no warranty the latches were broken so I bought it. To make it better all that was wrong was there was a o ring around one of the opener buttons that had swelled and held the latches open. Finally some good luck.

You really lucked out on that. Is it in the bed yet, if so, how's it look?

Chevy 2 nope you can't have it mine mine. Yukon I set it in there it looked good. I took it back out though so I can peel the lettering off and polish it.
