Re: New guy
Well, new adventure today. Went and bought a dented discontinued tool box at Pep Boys today. Only paid $100 for a $239 box. Bought the EXACT same box as what I bought for my '72 Chevy. I know it is exactly the same because I put it on TOP of the box on the Chevy when I got it home. It fits (not well, but it fits) in the Chevy. It is a bit too narrow (which goes to show that the modern pickup is NOT as big in the cargo area as the older trucks), but it sits on the bed rails when it is centered. Not so on the GMC. It looks like the GMC bed rails are about 6 inches WIDER than the Chevy, and the box just drops in between the rails! Unfortunately, it is just about half an inch TOO wide to fit completely between the bed rails, so one end drops in, while the other remains on the rail. I am going to have to build some brackets to bolt this thing in!
I guess, once again, I learn the old saying, "Never assume anything. It makes an *** out of U and Me!"
