Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
. . . .
After spending a few bucks having my tool box restored, I'm wondering if anyone else has restored one. I haven't seen too many restored doors and body panels on this website. If you have one in good shape, you can post a picture of it too. ( Some of us would probably like to see REAL RUSTY ones also !!! ) Here's mine . . . before . . . and after: . . . .

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
Here is a shot of mine on my 72. Even out here in the desert communities that area seams to get a touch of surface rust going on the small area under the box on the outer skin of the bed. I am thinking it is from washing the truck over the years. The whole set up is prestine, but it needs a little TLC to keep that way. Currently I have the lock removed to get rekeyed, so I can lock the door. If I remember I will try some up close pics for you. Cool thread by the way.

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
here's mine I had repaired when it got painted in '97. It's going to need some repair again though, it's starting to bubble in the corners again. Oh, well the whole pickup needs to be repainted anyway. I remember when I first took it out to clean it there was a Rockwell decal on the top of the toolbox which I was surprised to find since I am a woodworker and a lot of my equipment is older Rockwell stuff that has the same logo as that decal.

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
I wonder if this is the same truck that livrat posted?? I saw it at Brother's this year. Nice truck. (just noticed this one has black trim - but also has the same screw holes for mounting the lower side molding. Hmm. Different tires, but that could have been changed.

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
These are very cool.I especaily like the one in another thread where the fellow cut it down for a shorty.
My uncle had one in a 72 4x4 years ago that he put a glovebox switch in the jam and a licence plate light inside it. wish I had a pic of it.

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
Here's the rare fiberglass reproduction (before he painted it) I sold to MT Dave for his low-mile Longhorn survivor. Even it had a rusty tool & stowage door. And,the rustfree bedside I also had bought years before:

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
. . . .
I was just about to add a picture of a 73-up toolbox for "our collection", when I happened to see THIS door on eBay . . . it looks like a "72-down" to me !!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-1974-19...-/150781712412 Look at the drawings from the brochures and other 73-up doors below. The molding isn't the same on the 73 door. But the third picture, the 75 on a trailer, shows the molding in the middle of the door . . . STRANGE !!! The last picture is the door on eBay. . . . . |

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
IIRC they had all of the trucks drawn like that on the brochures, but the actual trucks were as pictured with the trim in the middle of the door.

Here's a close up of the door on the 75 that's on the trailer (above), it's still different then the one on eBay. Could the difference be Cheyenne and Non-Cheyenne ? . . . . |

Re: Show us your bedside TOOL BOX
1971 longhorn. It's in good shape, the rust is pretty superficial, no rust on the bottom/underside. Needs a lock. recently cleaned it out and took out most heavy stuff to reduce weight it there. I now keep the jack inside the cab under the seat.
The rubber is ok, could stand new. It's located on the passanger side. |
