Hi Gang, Hope all is well in your world. I need and am looking for a Polished Diamond Plate frame mounted tool box. Any sugestions as where to get one and have it installed. Close to or in Michigan if possible. Need it Yesterday.....LOL...Butch

Merc,

Check with some local truck body installers, they should have some in stock.

I was checking out some at Carnegie Body Co. in Cleveland a few weeks ago while waiting for their service dept. to fix some hinges on my roll-up door.

Well, since you asked for suggestions mine would be check www.minimizer.com and save the few hundred pounds difference in weight for cargo.

I know it's nowhere close to Michigan, but I always got a little carried away at the chrome shop at Oak Grove, MO. When you can get a DQ blizzard AND shop for chrome at the same time... Man, I'm not sure life gets much better than that. They used to have some pretty good deals available as well...

Keep Chroming that thing up!!

Thanks Guys, and to Scott, I'm always in the market for more Chrome. LOL. Just had some Lettering done and am looking at a Mural and some Graphics to Brighten it up a little more. Must add more lights also.

I will look forward to Oak Grove. Hope I can get there Soon. Also want to get out to Iowa 80. Thats the biggest I've ever seen. Thanks Guys I will be checking these out....Butch

Sorry about the slow response Leo, I wasn't watching the post. The 36" diamond plate is aluminum and weighs 40 lbs. The 36" stainles steel is smooth sided and weighs 101 lbs.

Wish I would've seen this post when I could've helped.

They're located in Detroit off 96.

tractor supply store's carry all that stuff to

Spend the Extra $ and buy a chrome one, you will be much happier over the years. Diamond plate = polishing all the time and its not an easy job. You will be able to keep the chrome one from truck to truck for years to come and it will always look new.

One caution the mistake I made once got mudd splattered on it cleaned it with window cleaner and scratched it so always use lots of soap and water to clean, will always look brand new.....

FlameMerc · Feb 17, 2006

Thanks for all the feedback. Truckntow is closer to me and if they install, I will try to have it done monday when I go back in service. Thanks again all. I will contact them friday morning..Butch.

As Dave said if you can wait until MAT's in Louisville you can get a good deal.
Example I wanted a new seat last year, about this time I contacted three seat manufactures and told them what I was looking for in style and color. Two of them brought a sample that matched my request, Bought an $800 dollar seat for $425 and end of show.
