Bed w/tool box door on CL

[cochino12]

Only seen a couple of these. He's asking $200 for the bed, thought I'd post it for anyone that might be interested

That's pretty cool!

anyone know the last year available for this option? That is just a neat setup on a square body!!

[Azryael]

I can see that's a long bed, so assuming I can find a truck, I'd look for one of these to stow away tools!

This is actually the first time I've seen something like this for a square body.

Cool, I had one on my '70 C10 and there are no aftermarket parts available for these things since they are so rare.

The old man had an '82 with the 6.2 diesel and it had this storage box. He bought the truck used around '90 but I always suspected it wasn't the original bed on it.

Single tank trucks only?

I saw one of these at a local junkyard but the only thing that was left was the inside plastic bucket.. the truck had completely rotted. I thought it was cool and didn't know any squares had this.

Thankyou for reminding me about this.. not that I would cut a hole in my bedside before paint but they are pretty neat! Here's what a little bit of research found.

I don't take credit for finding these originally as I just found them on an older thread, interesting nonetheless!

EDIT: I also found the photos I took from a private junkyard.. the toolbox was LONG gone.

How much space is there for tools and such?

I had one on my 73 C20. When I got it for $650 in 1981 the box was badly rusted and the previous owner and used a couple of large screws to keep it shut. It made a great salt catcher in the rust belt.
