The underhood toolbox was an option...look in section 16000 for the part number.

I've looked all over Section 16000 in my parts catalog and I don't see anything that says underhood toolbox.

I thought that started in the 1980/86 F-series.

Still on here, even on vacation? Get back on the beach, ya putz!

I'll be back tomorrow, so I'll type the part number.

It's 7:53 here in Hawaii, the sun has set, and I've gotten enough sun on the beach to last a lifetime.

I'd be interested in buying one if there are any left. I don't remember underhood tool boxes being available on the 1973/79.

Set already? Interesting. Have a safe trip back to the mainland!

On mine where the extra battery flat spot is I mounted an ammo box. Rubber sealed and water tight. I keep extra belts and needed wrenches in there along with some what nots.
