From what I have been able glean through researching them is that they were 1996 only. I have one stashed somewhere that I need to list in the classifieds.

Nice job guys, putting them in the TBI trucks. I know the emissions and front corner, including wheel liner went through a few changes before that storage box came out.

96-00. And a few of the 01 and 02 3500 HDs have them.

I have one in my 96 and 99

Re: under hood storage box in a 89 c1500

I have one in my '99 Tahoe, originally it was missing. Picked one up from the local Parts Reclamation Distribution Center which were formally known as salvage yards.

Like it so well I added one to my restored '71 4x4 long bed. Will try and get some pics up tomorrow. Also took a bit of massaging and metal twisting and bending but it fits and is very useful. Keep a qt. of oil, oil rag and spare fan belt in it.

BIL seen it, liked it and is looking for one for his '83 1 ton, 4x4, 454, 4 speed, dually.
