Reference: Plans How to build a tool box for a CMP truck

[Mike Timoshyk]

Chris hit it on the nose.

Currently working with 1/16 (16 guage) plate and not too maleable. Since I am planning to form ones to fit the 10.50s, I am already parting from original specs. Easily changing clamshells at a later date for someone who will be the next custodian of the truck will bring it back to proper spec. Any way....there are many possibilities for which material to use. With a coat of paint one would be non-the-wiser. Brass...copper....aluminum...etc.
I will be experimenting to find the right kind of material for the job. Considerations....strength, maleability, rigidity...you get the point.

More to follow later....gotta put the uniform on and head to the unit for a forenoon's worth of PER work...that time of year.

Cheers
