I like those boxes with the lid all the way across much better. I have one on the C20. I also have one in the backyard not installed on a truck yet. Neither one has latches that work right. I'm lucky if I can 1 side to work. I'd sure like them better if I could get access on either side.

I also picked up a nice tool box a few weeks ago, finally got all my crap out of the back seat!

Do those boxes clamp in or bolt in? Always kinda wanted one, but don't really wanna drill any extra holes in the bed.

That's what has kept me from putting the 2nd one in a truck. I bolted mine in. I'd imagine there is a way to clamp them in iwith a J hook and threads on the end of it if you figured that out but bolting is best if you don't want it stolen. And people do steal them just to get what THEY THINK might be in them.

Yea the one in my bed was j-bolted in the original truck that I got it out of but I wernt ahead and drilled four 1/4 inch holes and used lock nuts and bolted it down nice and snug. Im right there with you HR only one of my latches work and of courser its the one on the passenger side of the truck so to get into my box I have to walk all the way around to open it.

Lucky for me, it's the driver side that works, but it usually seems I'm trying to get in it on the passenger side cuz of where I park my truck in the driveway. So I have to walk around to the driver side.

Started to sand individual panels for paining, hood is bare, just needs the nicks filled, thinking white, it covers a multitude of sins.

Started mocking up the new exhaust. What do y'all think?

They sit up higher than I thought, but I do have a pair of 45* bends to raise the mufflers a bit should I need to.

Looks good. I'd tuck them up as far as you can without causing yourself any issues or making the piping too much harder/more expensive.

I'm pretty sure Retro said the same thing before.:shrug: Tuck that pipe and don't make it hard, or it'll come loose. :laughing1:
