Does anybody make an ABS box for our trucks ? I know cardboard is authentic but it really sucks .

I though I had seen them someplace. It might have been the Truck Shop http://truckandcarshop.com/

I think I can get them (they come in the A/C conversion kits and will not work in a factory A/C truck also they are about an 1.5" shallower than a factory one), if anyone is interested let me know and I will check into it.

Pretty easy to make them out of sheet metal.
I pulled the old soggy liner out, unfolded it and removed the staples, then traced on sheet metal. (no idea of the guage...thicker than Honda skin though)
Once traced, I used a nibbler and cut allong the lines, then folded and painted. Then installed a rubber mat to keep all my junk from rattling.
