[George McKenzie]

I need someone to help me on this problem .I made up over 60 copies of How to make this tool box and sent them from Findland to Austraila .Lately I have been getting request for copies but I never saved a copiy for my self . Does anyone have a copy that they could post on MLU for those that want to make one ? Thankyou

[Andy Beevers]

George,
I have found the Original Thread. That may help you track down any PM's you may have sent/received around that date.(?)
I note Bob C replied, still got a copy, Bob?
Good luck, I hope you can track 'em down!

[Bob Carriere]

Were these the hand drawn notes George....... must have them filed inside one of my shop manuals.....

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, 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

[Andy Fraser]

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

[chris vickery]

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!

[Robert Bergeron]

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 .

How does the Cab 13 tool box fit to the chassis?
