DOH!
Yeah, they actually had a bunch trucks with them, but more than half were missing lids. Figured either someone took them, or possibly they got lost when someone checked what was inside. Tons of plastic parts like that all over the ground (fuse covers, shrouds, etc.) in every aisle.Good to hear you had some success at the yard. I've noticed that the storage boxes are easier to find,than the lids, because the hinges get cracked and break. I've also seen how the boxes can get warped in the underhood heat, and that doesn't help hinge longevity. The one on Rawhide is a little bit womper jawed so I have to be careful how I open and close it.
The first truck I found was missing the lid. The next one had the lid, but the box broke while I was trying to remove the nut under the fender well. Went back to the first truck missing the lid and grabbed that box.
I looked at a few other brands of vehicles and was heading towards checkout when I noticed one of the hinge tabs was cracked on the lid. After a quick recheck, found a good lid on yet another truck. That one was missing the grill/rad/core...wish I would have found that first.
Pretty sure they didn't charge me for the box actually. Receipt only shows 31.48 for the two 'frame brackets' (crossmembers) and 4.19 for the dipstick for that C1500.
