Chevrolet C15A GS Tool Box/Spare Wheel Carrier
Gentlemen,
Not posted on MLU before. I have a 1944 C15A GS which is being restored at the moment. Unfortunately my truck doesn't have the tool box/spare wheel carrier fitted between the cab and the rear body. I know that the elusive tool box is very hard to find, but before I go down the fabrication route, I thought I would ask if anyone has one they are willing to sell to me? No doubt this is a bit of a long shot, but no harm in asking. Thanks Andy Fraser

Andy, welcome to the forum
Yes, this box and the associated clam shell tire carrier is a tough one to find. After all these years I am surprised that nobody has got into making reproductions of the shell brackets as the rest of the carrier and the tool box are simple enough to fabricate

Thanks Chris. The clam shells do look difficult to produce.

Would be a labour of love for a toolmaker to build a proper set of stamping dies then have the press with the tonnage to stamp them!

The clam shells can be done with truck steel wheels cut in half and trimmed with a plasma cutter . It’s hard to tell the difference and it’s cheap . Try it .
