It's dark sorry. It's not done I still need a flat surface this is all I got done before the clean up (up to 5am that sat)
It's 1.75 tubing, two bends at each corner (to eliminate corners <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> ) A side mounting tool box from Home Depot. And the 60 someodd " hi-lift is mounted with seatbelt harness eye bolts with a nut welded to the tubing and a tab next to it for a lock.

I think I saw that truck at safeway a couple weeks ago but its kinda hard to tell from the pics... might have been that just looked like it.

I like the look of that small box, but I have to carry everything with me <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> so I'm using a fullsize box <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> spare 3rd, spare axle, shafts,starter, ect, I hate to be broke down! Hell I'll even have spare toyota parts I don't run so I have spares for any who need them on the trail! I'll help just about anyone out,......almost <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">he he, now get us some lighted pics man.!

 

[ryanwhit]

that looks real good, but i'd like to see it in the light!

I'll work on the pics. Actully this box wasn't supppost to be for this truck (it's for my other project) but since I had no bed I couldn't carry my parts boxes to the clean up, so I had to mount it. And the size was worked out nicely. I emptied almost both the parts boxes into it (big rubbermaid boxes).
That weekend I fit: a gallon of gear oil, a gallon of motor oil, left and right side birlfields w/ axle shafts, starting fluid, brake cleaner, socket set, a bag of misc tools, and misc spare parts. I was in a hurry so if I packed organized I think I could get it all in there. I took it all out after the week end til I can make it more secure, it locks but it's not the strongest.
