thats pretty cool! I have thought about getting one from an auto parts store, but this GM one is pretty cool

Looks awesome, bo! I've got an 800 series... Might see what I can do with mine.

I found this on another site:

15737693-toolbox body

15740047-toolbox lid

Not sure if they're correct, I didnt end up going to the dealer.

sweet thanks for the info, i may see what you do as far as mods to get it to open easier. I'm really liking the idea of one of these,

about $18 for the box, $16 for the lid at GM Parts Direct. Might have to order one!

Looks good..........There was a few posts on here a while back from guys buying a battery box and installing it in that same location. Would like to do this, either battery box or GM box, just want to be sure the GM one will open and close properly. Let us know what you have to do to make it work.

That's the one I was referring to............looks good. Do you have a brand and part number, if you don't mind posting it.

Thanks!

Where is the battery in these new trucks? Up in the back passenger corner like an 8.1 dual battery setup? That's weird if so. I think it would be awkward to get to and jump?

Battery is against the fire wall on the passanger side, under the hood.

Thanks. That is strange though. I wonder why they did that? Like I said I think it would be awkward back there?

Here is a link to my previous thread with all the info on the box i installed.

I've read somewhere before they moved it back there to provide power to onstar in the event of a head on collision. It has a better chance of surviving there.
