I think they were pretty rare, I have a shortbox one, that I have never installed, and I was told they were several hundred dollars in 1966. If you think about it, that is a lot of money my truck retailed for $3500. (Yes, it was the stripped model.)

I think the longbed tool stowage compartment boxes are not too rare. Shortbed ones, more so, yes.
The most expensive option was the 3 Spd. Cruise-O-Matic. Price sheets vary some but on mine for 1966 it shows $229.40
Second most expensive option was the Deluxe Camper Special (F250 only), which included the Right-Hand Tool Stowage Compartment - total package on my price sheet - $223.10
And these are the prices for the compartments themselves, when ordered with a truck.
115" wheelbase - $37.10
129" wheelbase - $42.30

You couldn't get any level of Camper Special package or the MX Cruise-O-Matic or a bedside tool compartment with an F250 4x4 but here's the prices for the two trucks that I have the invoices for. I wish I had the invoice for my 2WD because it had the Cruise-O-Matic, Deluxe Camper Special, Ranger (implies Custom Cab), Radio, custom paint, 352 engine - about everything except power brakes and steering.

There are a few threads on topic but I have not found a member who post a source. An advance search menu under topic and narrow to 61-66 forum.
I post a pic and diag. of an old tried out tool storage seal? As one can tell I did not do well in drafting classes

Tool box seal
I bought this many years ago, and I got it at BD Company in Denver, B-D Company | Serving the automotive aftermarket industry since 1957.. It is essentially a C gasket attached to a circle so the c grabs the lip of the box and the circle crushes for the seal. It is maybe 3/8's on the c and the circle. I would call them and see what they have. If they don't understand what you need let me know and I will take a end view picture of mine and send it to you. You can email me at randy.stutz@stutzfamily.net
