This is the original fuse box off my 71. It was used for a CB. I'm not certain how old it is, but I can say it was on the RH fender when I purchased the truck in 89, and the CB was pulled before I got it.

It's in perfect shape. I believe it's was painted (sorry) when the engine was replaced in 1993. It should be an unpainted smooth gloss black. I took 3000 grit to a small area and it came out perfect. This will clean up like new. Anyway, does it have any value, or is it better suited as a memento? Thanks.
