Re: toolboxes or other storage containers in your trucks

I'm in the process of sorting out a box for the back of my 66 stepside. The box itself is an ex Royal Air Force box that was used to store blankets, uniforms etc, which is quite apt as my truck is ex USAF. Its big and solid and can be used as a seat as well. When fitted in th centre it will leave a small gap each side for storing jerry cans etc.

This was what it looked like when I got it:



I wanted to 'make it mine' and have a play with my pinstriping brushes, this is the start of the lettering on the front side:



Added some more to the lettering:


Added some ham fisted pinstriping (its been a while since I did any!):


Have added a sugar skull and some webs to the top:




The box is currently with a mate being clear coated to protect the patina as it matches the paint beat up paint on the truck.

I'm gona sticker bomb the inside of it with suitable old school hot rod, tattoo studio etc stickers.
