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.

Do you have friends or family here in Ca.? If so have them work out the deal for you and pick it up or I can ship to them. Then they can have it wrapped up and ready for you to take back to NZ.

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.

Adelanto wrecking yard has been closed for a long time now. The other yards rarely have anything in the 60's Yes these are getting hard to find now days.
