Spare fluids stored under the hood

[taquito971@yahoo.com]

I've been trying to build up my big ugly '79 K30 Crew cab and remember seeing a post where a member had fabbed up a rack to hold spare fluids and filters under the hood of his vehicle. I thought it was a Suburban of a similar vintage (73-91) but I can't seem to find it! The entire thread was pretty slick, but my search-**** is weak. Anyone know where that thread is at? Thanks!

I remember seeing someone with an ammo box mounted under the hood for things

Well that's almost too simple isn't it!

I can't tell you who posted it, but I copied the photo when I saw it. I thought it was a good idea too. =)

That's the one! And it's as pretty as I remember it. Thanks.

If anyone can help me find the rest of the thread I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks! That is mine. I built it for my '79 Sub prior to going to the Baja 1000 with LocosMocos in 2002, though those two spare filters are on a mount that was never completed. The Sub is gone, but the oil bottle part, I call it "the Refinery", is sitting on a bench outside getting rusty. For various reasons it does not fit under the hood of my '91 Sub. I was just looking at it last weekend and wondering what to do with it. I could be persuaded to part with it as I am cleaning up the driveway. PM for details.
