Robert.

The two storage bins forward of the rear wheels are steel, Chevrolet pattern.

Externally, the Ford and Chevrolet steel bins look identical: piano hinged cover that is held in place with a large, flat steel bar mounted midway horizontally. The inside face of the bar is covered with a thick canvas strip, held in place with a series of copper split rivets running along the midpoint of the steel bar. The canvas strip serves two purposes: snugging the bin lid securely closed and preventing any rattles.

Although the Ford and Chevrolet bins look identical externally, the front face of the inside middle shelf differs between the two. The Ford has a straight face running the full length along the shelf. The Chevrolet has a shallow curved cutout approximately 8 inches long at the mid point of the shelf. The two bins are interchangeable from either side of the Wireless Box, but a rectangular adapter plate must be moved from the top end of one side of the box, to the other side, if the storage box is mounted on different sides of the Wireless Box.
