Hiway Products makes the closest thing you can buy new that is pretty much the same as ones made back in the day. I think they are all aluminum now, but you can blast and paint or powder coat. I searched steel pickup saddle box and came up with a picture of this blue one. And it looks like it's steel. But when I went to the website listed with the picture this one didn't show

I did go to 800toolbox.com and saw aluminum ones that style, but not that exact one. I like that blue one. I used to paint mine body color.

How about these accessory wheelcovers? They are Western Auto or something like that. I have these for sale over on the parts board (not here). N.O.S. mint condition
