Ford F100 Tool Boxes

I purchased another 66 F100 which has two tool boxes mounted on the bed sides. They are 88.5" long x 12" deep x ".

Does anyone know if these were Ford OEM? Seller states the dealer mounted them when he purchased the vehicle new in 66.

I get the feeling they were installed in 66 but as a non Ford part?

Tool boxes are aftermarket, not made by Ford.

1969/70: Ford offered a "Contractors Special," which came with two tool boxes mounted on top of the R & L bed sides.

How are they mounted to the bed rails? Can you take pictures with the lids open? They look good and you can still get a sheet of plywood in the bed.

Here the pics. Selling them as we have no use for them. We cut some carpet for the bottoms so they didnt get scratched but the only thing ever in there was a towel to clean off the ride with

Two bolts per box to the top rail although you could revise it so it sits in stake rail slots

Very nice. One thing for sure, they didn't take away from the appearance of the truck.
