1973-75 "CK" EXTERIOR TOOL STOWAGE COMPARTMENT Anyone ever seen one? I was browsing through GM's Electronic Parts Catalog this evening and I came across this. I am attaching the pic that it shows. I realize the pic is of an earlier body style (67-72?) but the title of the section is as I typed it in bold.

Then in the bodyside molding section it shows the correct bodystyle with the door. 1973-75 "CK" (CAB) EXTERIOR MOLDING TOOL STOWAGE COMPARTMENT

Next section: 1973-75 "CK" (CAB) INTERIOR TOOL STOWAGE COMPARTMENT

I also found some pretty odd/obscure emblems/decals. I found a set of TAILGATE emblems for "Trailering Special 8000/10000/11000/12000/13000/15000" (Any one of those #'s) Found a rear body side emblem called "Estate", wtf?

The first pics are of a tool storage box on the outside lower box behind the driver's door. I had one in my 73 when I lived in Michigan - the box completely rusted out and it was bolted shut to keep it from falling off when I got it. The last pics look like some sort of double storage box that mounts to the inside of the back cab wall - never saw that before.

I had a friend that had the external rust box... never seen the other one

The "ESTATE" emblem is a suburban part.

other rare options are the fold down dome lite and manual throttle control.

Looks cool in theory, but around my part of the country it would end up like the others said, full of salt and rusted out.

I have not seen any of those options in person.

Yeah, I've only ever seen the exterior storage box on F*rd trucks and some 67-72. I haven't ever seen the behind the seat storage either. Until the "Rarest of the rare" thread I'd never seen that dome light.

As I was digging through the EPC I noticed that I could NOT find that flip-down dome light OR the wood bed for fleetside. Those must be things that never made it into the computer. I will have to look for the hand throttle now.

Anyone have a picture of this manual throttle? What is it for PTO drives?

80SPORT · 12-13-2010, 11:07 PM

Parts listing from the paper books

Also the rare E56 stakebed option....
