Side factory toolbox How Rare?
#2
I believe the side tool compartment is even more rare in short bed format. Long bed tool compartment not super rare. I got lucky and found this NOS compartment with all the bits and pieces. My original wasn't too bad (California truck) but the latch is not good and no keys to be had so was thrilled to find this one.

I have 3 F-100s. 2/65s & 1/66. They are all short boxes. 2 of them have the storage compartments.
I see them now and then at the wrecking yards but since I'm not in the market, I usually pass them up. Didn't really think anyone might be interested. Don't really have a lot of room to store a bunch of parts but if I knew someone was really interested, I'd keep my eyes open. Don't find many short boxes, mainly long beds.
Great place to keep jack and stuff for tire repair/replace.

From my observations most of the higher spec versions have them, but barely any low spec versions have them. Also they seem to be on 250's a lot more then 100's.
I have only seen short bed versions on the internet never in person.
I have 3 long box versions, and will put 2 on my project when it drives again.

I hear that! I got the weatherstrip with my NOS box and was glad because I can't find it anyplace.

You can see the location of the weatherstrip in the instructions here. It's the darkest line in the print.

Really rare since it doesn't fit well at all. The contours of the tool compartment outside panel are not the same as the contours of the older styleside bed. I was going to do it since I have 2 tool compartments and 3 trucks (two have the older styleside) and could tell that wouldn't work without some surgery beyond just cutting an opening for it.
I've never seen the combination, have you seen one Oak?
