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 |
The blue one is cool. If only my blue truck wasn't a Jimmy with a doublewall top.
I bought my Orange'68 C/10 Stepside because the PO had put on a dealer-optioned big tool box on the back. He even had it painted 516 Orange to match.
Essential for keeping everything needed to keep a rig running, including a spare 5 gallon gas can [Justrite brand]. Jumper cables, tool box with special tools, wrenches, ratchets, sockets, etc.
