Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
I've been searching and scavenging all the affordable bed side tool box parts I can muster up. My first truck, a 1969 Chevy Longhorn, had a bed side tool box. Unfortunately, I didn't save that part when I parted that truck out. When I built my 72 I wanted to add one but couldn't find a decent one at the time. Now I have a few in various states. I'm working on having enough pieces to make 2 complete bed side tool boxes. Anyone have any they wanna let go?
![]() One of these tool boxes is locked and has something heavy in it. I'm guessing it is a jack. I need to get it to Leon to have him un lock it and make me some keys.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Nice stash brewing there. Looks like you’ve got a couple decent doors, that’s the hardest part it seems. Don’t drill the lock what ever you do! Took me a couple years to get another one for my K20 after I drilled it out. The doors you’ve got look really decent. I bought the whole tool box bed from a guy on here 5-6 years ago. Got really lucky and the door is perfect not a single spec of rust. I’ve got an outer opening cut stashed away to repair the little bit of rust in the bottom of mine below the door. Parts are out there, you’ll find them eventually.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Any 73-76 tool boxes in your stash with this piece that covers the lock from the inside on them?

I have a fiberglass tub laying in the back of the Green '67, and a couple of lock pieces. I think it is the lock bolt and the cover that goes over it and screws to the inside of the door.. LockDoc

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
So, I am currently restoring (well, mostly fixing rust) on my bedside toolbox (1971). The original lock is gone, replaced by PO with a door lock. So, I made it work, but when in unlocked position, you cannot remove the key. The door rust repair took me weeks (mostly just work weekends). Now I am fixing the opening in the bedside. Luckily, the box is in good shape.
But, my tool box is painted white. Were they natural (blackish) fiberglass when delivered new? Where are the cut/tape lines (i.e. back of door, through box) on two tone trucks |

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Best I know, this is the original finish. My bed is original paint but solid dark olive poly so I don’t know where the exact tape lines would be on a two tone. I would guess anywhere covered by the trim like the normal beds.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Let me see if I can dig out one of my 2 tone doors and get a pic or you. The tool box inserts are just natural black fiberglass on all the ones I've had/seen.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
I guess my question is the door solid color on the back or does two tone wrap the door (front and back). I know where the line is on the front. My thought is that is similar to the main doors in that the white (minor color) just wraps around as far as the door skin wraps around and then stops. So the back of the door would be body color (not white). Then, what about the recess that the box mounts to? Does the white color line pass through the recess or stop somewhere?
I know a lot of questions...definitely not right on my truck. Hope this is not hijacking the thread...good stash that I wish I had ![]() |

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Every 2 tone one I've seen the white is split in the opening but the back of the door is the bottom color like a cab door.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
Here is a picture of an opening to sort of show the paint split.
Has anyone found anymore or wanting to sell theirs? Member, Uncle, in Georgia has a Longhorn bed with a tool box I'd love to have but he's pretty far from me. Has anyone ever heard you couldn't get a tool box on a factory K truck? I've had a couple of members tell me this but I had 2 K20s that had them so now I am curious if they were original or bed swapped.

Re: Bed side tool box parts (Hoard)
hi folks, I have a 72 cheyenne super C20 longbed that I'm in the process of restoring. It has a factory bedside toolbox. I believe I will be able to restore the door itself, however the inner latch mechanism and the hinges are rusted out.
Has anyone found a way to reproduce them using CNC or the like? Thanks in advance! Brian Hiltscher Last edited by LockDoc; Yesterday at 05:31 PM. |
