Under Seat Stowage

CGINSTRUCTOR · January 2, 2008

Are there any other vendors that sell these items because it seems to me that $140+ for a stowage bin is HIGH.

Any suggestions...

I'm wrestling with that. Some real high quality plastic.

Bought one last week. I know it is pretty expensive for plastic, But I had heard some good things about it. Will let u all know how it works once I get it.

I was asking the same question last year. Dee-Zee makes a cab organizer that fits beind the rear seat of reg cab and extended cab models that's much cheaper. I have a crew cab and it wouldn't fit.

Not sure about the new turcks, mine is a 2006.

Santa brought me the Du-Ha for Christmas, but I haven't installed it yet.

I made something out of plywood that works pretty well IMO. Only cost $15 for wood, and a few screws. I'll try to get some pics of it.

How about GM's "Underseat Storage Box"? (GM#17803488) I paid $107 for mine and it keeps all of my stuff neatly organized. What's the difference between the GM one and the Du-Ha, besides the price?

Ok, here are the pics. It looks like crap right now because the idiots I bought the truck from armorall-ed the carpet in the back (!) and it's soaking into the wood. I'm going to cover it in some grey carpet as soon as I have the time.

And yes, the BK crown is mine

They did what? Why? What possible good could come out of doing something so stupid.

Well really I don't know! gmpartsdirect.com shows that part number at $117 and no pic. I'd love to see a pic if you have a chance. Does yours go all the way across? May be worth looking into.

Actually the more I think about it, I would like one that just fits under the shorter fold-down seat for my few items, cause I leave the long seat stowed in the up position and use the floor space to haul packages. Maybe an arrangement of plywood side walls that doesn't have a bottom to just keep things from sliding into the foot area.

You were postin while I was writin. That's what I had in mind. Hey, I haven't tried Armoralling the carpet. Interesting . . . Thinking about using that dealer for your service work?

Hell no. I'm never going anywhere near that place again. It was some real small, shady, used car dealership. It took the guy so long to get the title for the truck, that I thought it might've been stolen. But it was a killer deal I couldn't pass up.

I've never understood why it's so hard to find a pic of the darned thing. I had the same problem, but eventually found one somewhere.

Either way, I was able to get 10% over cost from a friend/customer of mine that is the manager of a GM collision repair facility. It does go the length of the seat, so it won't work for what you want because it's a one-piece deal. It's made of sturdy plastic and has two of those net dividers splitting the interior into thirds. Also, the installation was a breeze.

I need to get my camera out and take a few pics. I'll do so as soon as I get the chance.

Victor, Thank you for that number...could make some pics available because that seems more reasonable!

Not a bad idea...you should put a backer with some compartments on it! Thanks for your input....

Thanks also, Victor, I'm not opposed to full width, I'm sure it would fill up like any closet would. But, if I were fabricating it, I would make a small one.
