Info needed: TOOL BOX Chevrolet c15a no. 12

[Bob Carriere]

..... now back from the cottage...... I am looking for measurements in my file.

Or will take new ones.......... from my previous experience repairing mine it seems that the whole box was welded from individual flat pieces except the lip for the top.

If I can be of further help just ask.....

Rob....yes the original short filler neck on the cab 11 was a bad joke..... it can be filled easily using the square funnel or screwing the flex horse cock onto the 2 gal gan.......

I have two such boxes and have seen a few more and they all, at least in the cab 11 configuration..... have the same two pocket slots for the 12 gal POW which assume also serves as a corner brace..... which implies a max of 8 gallons of extra fuel if no water or oil was carried. My rough estimate is about 10 miles per gallon no matter what speed of actual rolling....2x4 or 4x4.

My main tanks have been modified to do away with the reserve sections...... the fuel valves were funky and when doing the POR lining I drilled extra hole in the baffle's bottom......easy to do with the large access cover removed. One quart did both tanks.

Cheers
