« on: April 25, 2013, 09:49:55 pm »

Seen pictures of them but never in person on a Chevy. There was a few guys around my neck of the woods growing up that had Fords with them though .

I've only seen one truck with it, actually it was with the box but without the door...  Along the same lines of Blazin's comments; for Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico they were more common on Ford trucks of that era than the GMC/Chevy trucks.

The Fall Guy truck didn't have them. The doors it had in the bed were a custom built set up. The storage box was above the floor line. The door that opened went from top to bottom, or pretty close to it.

There is a guy that lives by me with a completely restored one that he takes to car show and it has the compartment. Its different, but I do not know how much I would use it and it makes it so you cannot have dual tanks.

Fall Guy the whole front bed side opens, on these truck with the factory compartment it is just that lower section.  I have seen one and took pics but I can't seem to find them.
