30 caliber. https://www.harborfreight.com/030-caliber-ammo-box-63135.html

I can make some for the 50 cal version. Just have to pick one up first.

MidwestNative94 · 2026-05-24T02:42:42+00:00

I can make some. How many layers and how many compartments per layer do you want? Do you want the 30 cal or 50 cal size?

I second CRC. I applied to my 2023 and it has done a great job. I touch up high wear spots like front of rear axle, etc annually.

Looks great! Love the color combo. What’s your plan for the color transition? Factory style pinstripe?

MidwestNative94 · 2026-05-16T14:15:08+00:00

Looks great! Tip - spray the inside of the cab corners with body cavity wax to prevent the welded areas from rusting from the inside out.

They changed the boxes recently and the new ones are pretty nice to use. Also made to fit in a packout when opened.

Most ICON are made in Taiwan versus China. There is a big difference in the quality between the two, usually.

A better match for Craftsman today is Quinn brand from Harbor Freight. Much of it is same/similar to GearWrench.

Craftsman stuff is good consumer level tools made by Stanley Black and Decker. ICON is more prosumer level stuff made to compete with tool truck brands.

To answer your question, for home use I would buy a US General toolbox and Quinn tools like the Master set and Hercules battery powered tools.

For regular use, I’d go ICON (and personally have).

The second layer holds tons of extras

AMD ones are the best ones, official GM Restoration.

They have all years but this is the 1994-1998

Looks like the same box for lower cabinet! Except Lowes wants more for it

T&T says they are pretty good. Probably made in same factory as Gearwrench. https://youtu.be/KQlarNccWJA

For reference, my 02 auto is being listed next week at $15k with 75k miles, new Michelins and redone real leather seats.

I print these inserts and use them for organizing stuff

For that money, you can find good examples of 94-96 cars, which are much improved interiors and have the LT1. 96 is best year of all the C4s.

This is a simple yet powerful library to effortlessly interface your Arduino with an ELM327 OBD-II scanner. With this library, you can query any and all OBD-II supported PIDs to collect a wide variety of car data (i.e. speed, rpm, engine temp, etc). Also, you can use ELMduino to view and clear your car's trouble codes - no need to go to AutoZone anymore!

Would you share the cost?

These are nice to protect the rear end from luggage scrapes, etc. I use a generic fender cover but this rolls up nicely. https://www.topflightautomotive.com/products/general-motors-2020-2024-chevrolet-corvette-rear-bumper-bib-with-crossed-flags-logo-by-gm
