I added some more period correct accessories to my Sears Tool Box.

Need to do some cleaning but will add the little extra. :metal:

Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...

I have that same 1st Gen Leatherman. No Commie Metrics, only good American inches on the ruler scale. Same sheath. I sprung the backing spring on the main blade, whittling kindling off some sappy Juniper. As it was a gift from my Brother, I never sent it back to the factory for replacement. The warranty is only 25 years, so it's too late now. Victorinox Swiss Army Knives have lifetime warranties.
So did Sears Craftsman, but Sears is belly up now.

1983, they received their first order for 500 tools from Cabela’s and launched the first Leatherman tool, the PST.

Unity spotlight. I guess that’s an accessory.

This old Stanley Level will look good in my 1970 Craftsman Toolbox.

I have a Unity Cop Spot, including the p/n 202 GM Truck Bracket. Want it on my '71 Jimmy, but I'll need to repair the pass side windshield frame and install the Roll Bar before I compromise the structure of the windshield frame with a 1/2'' hole.

I have that exact model 8-track player in my '55 Chevy! Been in there since '75, still works great! :lol:

I finally installed my NOS Pioneer 8 Tract with 70's NOS Craig/Pioneer speakers.

Next is my CB.

Cool. Tell us how you like the sound quality, once it's up and running.

Sounds like a 70's speaker back in the day... actually it sounds better than I was expecting for speakers this old. . I have it more for the period look vs sound. :metal:

Thought this Car Clock was a cool little accessory from the mid to late 60’s that I recently purchased.

With a magnet base you could mount it on the dash. Got pix?

That certainly is an accessory directly related to 67-72s and period correct. Many things in this thread, not so much

For me if its in the 60's-70's its close enough. :metal:

But you make a valid point.

Thanks, ElDo, that's good to know. A fellow worker gave me a new Wave a couple years ago. I also have 2 SOGs, an early Gerber and my Brother gave me a Swisstool, so I'm not short on quality multi-tools. I carry them at work.

Just don't place it too close to a dash-mounted Magnetic Compass. You could create anomalies.

Good point ... I have a GM Compass that I will be using.
