I'd like to put a cover on my fuse block but not sure what would fit. Can anyone ID my fuse block so I can buy a new cover or look for one at the junk yard? Anybody ever fab one up? Pics would be nice. Thanks guys.

That looks like a 70's-80's GM fuse block. Most of those didn't have covers.

You would be better off making one, it would look better too. I would get some plastic sheet about 1/8 thick and make a flat cover with 4 sides bent like a shoe box lid. You could heat the plastic to bend it or cut and glue it together. then build up and glue magnets under the back side over the bolts and stick it to the heads of the bolts holding the fuse box to the truck. Sheet metal would work too but could spark if too close. You could cut holes in it over the flasher units.
