How rare is this door or tool box option on the bedside I have heard vary rare and then I meet a guy who had 4 or 5 doors so I dont know

Longhorn Man · 04-06-2005, 10:11 PM

in 72, only 6% of the trucks built had the optional tool box.
This option started in '70.

Here Is a picture of my '72 truck option list with the toolbox option

TRUCKGUY · 04-08-2005, 05:40 AM

what color is that truck painted? as far as color code?

LowSeventy · 04-08-2005, 12:36 PM

It seems like I saw a reproduction tool box door at Brothers one time. If I remember right it was fiberglass and expensive.

Stowage, The act or operation of stowing; the state or manner of being stowed; room or accommodation for stowing something; a place in which something is or may be stowed; that which is stowed or to be stowed; a charge for stowing something. Wedsters Dictionary of the English Language

No being critical here just offering some cultural enrichment!

poink 71 chev · 04-08-2005, 03:53 PM

A few years ago i had a 73 w/ the box. It looked exactly like the ones pictured here. You may be able to find one of those as a replacement since 73-87's are dime a dozen!

MAYBE THEY HAVE ONE FOR SPELLING ALSO.. HAHA

JUST KIDDING..

neonlarry · 04-08-2005, 04:03 PM

What makes them hard to find is not only the 6%, but the fact that 80% of those are rusted out. Even here in Cali its almost impossible to find a good door.

roger0080 · 04-10-2005, 04:44 PM

BadAssChevy502, are you in the Netherlands???

Where was your truck manufactored, the letter code from the VIN, Z=Freemont, S=St Louis, etc ??

Thanks.
