Model A pickup Tool boxes
At this year's Hershey show I saw this these tool boxes made for an A pickup sides. I thought they were home made or aftermarket but the owner from Philadelphia insisted they were a Ford offering. I think he had documentation. In any event I'd love to have a set for my 31. Has anybody seen these before?

Re: Model A pickup Tool boxes
When we did the Roadster Pickup project we wanted a quality tool box to lock up tools of course by other things you don't want laying around an open car cab when you aren't around. K&W Tool Boxes, Bronson, MI, www.customtoolboxes.com came by the Ford booth and measured the bed of our truck and built the box to fit neatly in the bed. The measurements are in their computer and you can order from them. They will also do it black if you don't like the polished look.

I wish I'd gotten his name so I could contact him. I think he had documentation that they were a period accessory. They were made exactly to fit the two bedsides of a narrow A bed.

Re: Model A pickup Tool boxes
I watch craigslist (yeah, I know, this is an "admission" like the folks over at AA) and I saw the remains of a ford model A pickup down in Connecticut that had "boxes" on each of the side rails like shown in the pix above.
They looked neat. I considered making a pair in wood. Joe K

Re: Model A pickup Tool boxes
Don't the tools go under the seat?

Re: Model A pickup Tool boxes
15 years ago I bought a "Packer 45" plastic box at Menard's in Illinois for less than $50. It fits in the back of the bed and holds everything that does not fit under the seat. I did drill a few holes in the bottom to attach it to the wood. The advertised box looks good but you can get a few sets of bed wood for the price of that box.
I was able to post a picture the other day. If anyone is interested I will try sometime tomorrow. Vic |

Re: Model A pickup Tool boxes
That looks like a picnic table and benches arrangement that a friend has in his RPU. It's nice for parades.
