storage boxes..
Hi,
Thanks for the very kind words, Gordon and Alex! Got back to work this weekend on the C8 making the front storage boxes. Only had time to make one, and used the same type tongue and groove lumber and materials as the rest of the rear body so far. Size of box is probably not correct, but was determined by the diameter of the fenders available. Had to do a makeover on some hardware store hinges and a latch. Couldn't make a gravity latch work here as a drip channel will go directly above it... Does anyone have a spare POL can they are willing to sell? Doesn't have to be perfect or even able to hold liquid, as long as it looks the part. Still have to make the holder for one on the LHS. Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 29-03-11 at 06:21.

900x13 Tires
David
Time old question I know - but where did you get those good looking tires? Much better than the Israeli implement tires that I have!

tires..
Hi David,
A helpful young man named Eric at Carroll Tire here in Dallas,(800-442-1629), managed to get a few of these into the US for me. Probably a one-shot deal, but there are still eight of them in a warehouse in Georgia that I didn't buy. Carroll Tire is a wholesale outlet, but if you could get a tire dealer in your area to inquire, I'm sure something could be worked out... Thanks, David

question about storage boxes...
Hi,
Got back in the saddle this weekend on the C8 restoration and had a question about these storage boxes. They came down to Texas with the C8 along with a lot of cab 13 parts and a rusty 2B1 rear body. These boxes appear to fit under the rear of the 2B1 body. Their inside dimensions are 13 1/4" long x 10 3/4 wide x 6 1/4 tall. Would this be a purpose-built box to hold a 2 gallon POL can, or are they just generic storage boxes? Thanks, David

Not bad shape....
Good boxes there David.
A bit of sand blasting or wire wheel and perfect. They were intended for one 2 gal. POW can each. I have heard some people refer to them as chain lockers but I think that is inaccurate. Bob C.

boxes...
Thanks, Bob!
Now I can actually have two original pieces of CMP equipment installed on my rear body. Will sandblast the pair and make a new door for the missing one, install them and proceed. Thanks again for the info. David Last edited by David DeWeese; 22-05-11 at 17:21. Reason: removed B.S.

latch question...
Hi,
Had a free day to make the missing door, hinges and latch for one of my storage boxes. Were small padlocks used on these to secure the doors, or some sort of pin/clip? Thanks, David
