I'm still not sure if these were a factory option, a dealer option, or an aftermarket option. I've only seen 2 other FSBs with them, and both were '80-86. I know they were original equipment on Datsun/Nissan king cabs, and I know these had upholstery that matched the rest of the Bronco that I took them out of, but that might have been custom-made. What's on them now is.

They're surprsingly comfortable & secure, according to everyone who has ridden in them. Even the ones who rode here during some ROUGH off-roading.

I originally sandblasted & fiberglassed them because the bases were horribly rusted, and then I painted them. But all the tool boxes & cargo I've hauled wore a lot of the paint off.

The biggest DISadvantages to these are that I can't use an aftermarket molded cargo area mat, or the stock '92-96 bedwall panels because of their pockets.
