Ok folks, I just deleted two posts that had nothing to do with tools. Please stay on topic.
Martin '62 Chevy C-10 Stepside Shortbed (Restomod in progress) '47 Chevy 3100 5 Window (long term project) ‘65 Chevy Biscayne (Emily) ‘39 Dodge Business Coupe (Clarence) “I fought the law and the law won" now I are a retired one!

Yes it has a bolt through the center and padded feet to keep it in place. Removes quick if I need the room. The cooler is a cut down (not by me) 1939 Westinghouse Jr. Ice.
Brad you give me a good idea for storing tools outside the cab I’ve got an old yellow us jerricans that I will transformed into a tools box fixed at the same place you do .it’s a lost place More safe Alain
I have looked but I have not found where the jack is stored in my 54-3100, under the seat is my best guess. The bed has a special factory slot for the handle, anyone know? Doc
Currently making 1954 3100 better than new and Genetics
Tim, I may be wrong but I recall Chevrolet literature referring to the space under the seat cushion as a "tool box". I am not aware of an actual box or something extra to store tools. I keep the jack, handle and fire extinguisher under the seat in that space. This is all sitting on an old towel to keep things from rattling. I like your heavy canvas bag idea. Kent
P.S. I found it. Page 21 of my 1951 Truck Data Book Model 3104 Tool Box--Under Seat, 50" x 19 1/2" x 6" It is listed for all the models with a cab as standard equipment.

My ‘57 3200 has a spot behind drivers seat too in corner of cab. I just use my truck as a daily driver locally, never more than 20 miles away, so I don’t carry a spare or jack. Just keep my wife on speed dial. I plan to make a bracket to keep a fire extinguisher in that spot.
