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

[Mike Timoshyk]

As the title suggests....today was a landmark day...I have sat 'round the problem of trying to get the box from its position on end to sitting comfortably on the rails...so to speak. Phase one....let gravity do the work...so....like a good ol BC lumberjack...down she went...sitting on the gravel made shifting it to the correct departure angle quite easy with the use of the come-a-long. A few furrows later I attached the engine hoist and using the come-a-long attached to the frame crossmember above the transfer case I started inching the box up and along....quite easy actually. Once on the frame I placed 2 steel rods for ease of movement once the laws of gravity were overcome. The rods will stay in place for the moment allowing me to move the box when the time comes to attach the front section. The distance between the box and the frame caused by the steel rods will also allow me to place thick rubber down before tightening the box down to the frame.

cheers for now from Thunderstormy Windsor Ontario
