Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...

OK. With Out the lights on the grille guard. Makes more sense. Those are the kind of Halogen driving and fog lights I was talking about. Only mine were in thin chromed steel housings. Fog lights on the lower course and turn signals above them was the idea.
It morphed into better amber fog lamps from Sears, and mounting into 71/72-style cut-outs in a chromed front ['68] bumper. First mounted on the '68 Stepside, then dismounted after getting tweaked in a freak fenderbender. And so I put the stock white bumper back on. Eight or ten years later, after hitting a deer with my '67 K/10 Suburban [w/454 BBC], I pulled the bent chrome bumper [w/o fogs] and ran it over carefully with the pickup. That straightened it enough to play with. With a '68 front clip from a junkyard, I remounted the chrome bumper onto the Sub, and refitted the lights, and the Sub was back on the road. [Until an engine fire 5 years later.]

Hey Doc, Did you need measurements on my tool box? Or were you just thinking out loud? It's deeper than the later generation of Cross Bed Toolboxes. That's good and bad. Good for fitting more stuff inside. Bad for sliding sheets of 3/4'' plywood underneath. Only 6 or 8. The rest have to stick out another 2 feet or so.
