box I.D.
Hi,
Would anyone know the purpose for this box? Bought it at a swap meet this weekend as it was too cheap to pass up. It has drain holes in all four corners on the bottom, but no other apparent power access holes on the box. Thanks, David Last edited by David DeWeese; 05-05-11 at 05:31. Reason: added info

Battery powered?
Hard to tell without knowing the dimensions of the box but that looks like a battery compartment on the one end with clips to hold a couple of "D" cells perhaps? Also, is that an indicating lamp next to the toggle switch? The stand-offs are there to keep the box mounted away from either a source of heat or cold, I'm guessing. Is there any indication of what the batteries would have been hooked up to? Perhaps an element or fan? This is totally grasping at straws, of course, but could this have been a storage box for welding rods?
It's as good a guess as any. CHEEMO! Derek.

Hello Derek,
The large compartment measures on the inside 13 3/4" x 4 1/2" x 6". Has a bulb socket to the left of the switch. There are no wires, or hole for them, going from the small electrical-fitted side into the larger compartment. Hope to join the Arrowhead chapter of the MVPA when I get a running, presentable vehicle.... seems like a lot of good folks there. Thanks, David

Morning David
How's that early Dodge coming?
I've seen something like that before bolted to a tank hull. I'd had the telephone handset in it for someone standing outside to communicate with the crew. Gordon

Hi Gordon,
Making progress on the '34. I finally found a pair of the suicide doors for it locally. I probably paid too much, but it ends my search. And of course coming from central Texas, one of them is riddled with bullet holes.  Thanks. David

It's only sheetmetal
If my lottery comes up I'll have that '34 from you, bullet holes or not. That's let you get on with the Chev.
My latest purchase, a T-36 Snow Tractor, rolls out of the container today dockside UK after a trip from northern California where it has spent the last 67 years.  Still a spring chicken compared with that nice '34 though G
