Looking for a "Tool Box"

Hello to all!

I am a new member and have really enjoyed all of the useful imformation that I have found in the 80-86 forum. I recently purchased an 82 F100 xlt Lariat and I am in the process of restoring it to its former glory.

One thing that I have not been able to find is the "factory" toolbox that mounted to the firewall under the hood. I would be intrested in purchising one from anyone that might have a spare.

Thanks to all that post imformation here. I am looking forward to being a contributor as my project goes forward.

Good luck, as this part is extreamly rare, and highly sought after (by people such as myself)

Best bet? Ebay (hahahahaha), search every single junkyard within a 30 mile radius, or contact jeffs bronco graveyard (they "might" have something)


Good luck

They were more popular on the Broncos. If that helps.


Look for trucks with the Retractable Underhood lamp, they went hand in hand.

kill two birds with one stone etc...


Good Luck.

IIRC one of the members here had one he was willing to part with. I think it was coneynew. He goes to junkyards all the time and gets some really good stuff.

81-F-150-Explorer has a pic of one installed in his truck in his gallery and coneynew has a pic of one on the floor in front of a ton of good parts in his gallery.
