1999.

Yeah, the auto-dim, the compass and temp worked but the map lights and HomeLink were fried. Oh well, it had some useful parts. I can use the display to put in one of my dual display mirrors and watch the Pontiac guys fight over it because it's amber and will match their interior lighting.

I was pissed off this morning and I hate when I am like that because anger is not a productive emotion so I got busy and installed these.

Tool box idea is a good one. I've not see that before

It was an option in later GMT400s. Usually they are gone or broken but I finally ran across a good one Friday for $7.

I'll have to keep my eyes pealed. I wasn't even aware of this option :)

I'm not sure if mines a z-71 or not. All I've got is the battery tray over there. Possible that it broke at some point if it ever had it.

Shouldn't be a battery tray there, only diesels got that as far as I know? The washer jug is underneath, there's honestly no room for a battery I think.

Well, now you've got me really curious as I thought i saw a battery tray there but I've only been under there a couple of times so far and it's been a while. I'm going to have to go look.
