1964/66 bedside tool box latch is different than 1967/79 bedside toolbox latch.

You cannot use a complete 1967/72 or 1973/79 toolbox on a 1964/66, because they're all a different shape to match the left quarter panel.

I have been looking side tool boxes everytime I go to pick a part, and of the last year or so the truck they come on are getting rarer.

If you in the LA area try adelanto pick a part. They have a better classic section, but I have not been in awhile.
