dude wants $50 bucks... good deal right? would it be a relatively easy install into a 79k10? drill the front mounting holes or something like that? i dont have a welder so anything more than some drilling or cutting may make it a no go for me

Nope, won't work out that easy and you need a welder. The newer trucks have basically flat floors, and the only squarebodies with flat floors were K5's.

Pole Smokin Bigtime. I think you can buy all that at Sears for less than $1200. Guy must have liked wrenches. He has sets of boxed ends with combo wrenches, and in seperate drawers. I have a 3 tier and a 2 tier boxes taller than that, and it's packed tighter than a 12yo and I doubt I could get $1200 for all of it.

NO, I wanna go with the bigger US General set up. Those are good boxes for the money. Probably made in China, but if you've ever gone to HF and played with one, the quality is pretty damn good. And when you can catch them on sale and use a 20% off coupon, killer deals !!! I'll have to buy a piece at a time to use the 20% off coupon, but that's the only way I could afford it anyway. I hope they have Blue when I get ready. I think Yellow went away already or I'd do Yellow.

That's why I went 3 tier. Small garage space. Went higher instead of wider.
