These pics are of the fuse block in the cab of my 49. I need to get a cover or fab one up. Can anyone ID this fuse block as I may be able to pic one up at the local junk yard? Does anyone have pics of a cover you made for your fuse block? Thanks guys.

That looks to me like something out of a late 60's early 70's gm product. Don't think they had covers, I sure don't remember ever uncovering one.

Thanks for the info Tommy. I was thinking the same thing but I've been doing a little research and the pics I'm seeing online looks more like one out of something in the early 80's.

Thanks Justhorsenround. Looks like I'll need to fab something up.

Why do you want a cover? If it's just because it is too visible, move it up or up and left. Just two bolts, leave all wires alone.

Moving it left or right won't do me any good. Not enough room to move it up so it's either leave it or fab something up.

I guess pictures can be deceiving. In the first pics i see room to move up.
To get you started: Think plastic, think modifying something. Motorcycle battery box. Trailer brake box, car trash container, index card storage box.......ELectronics enclosures............or maybe build from This stuff.

Make one out of thin cardboard (cereal box) check fit ,then put som Vaseline over cardboard and mix up some fibreglass cut some fibreglass cloth and make a fibreglass one from the cardboard mould .Just remember it will be a bit larger as you will be putting the glass over the cardboard . I made a spoiler for my mg and also the glove box for my 54 truck and it worked out not to bad.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll keep them in mind. Waiting on the grandkids to get me that new garage heater for Christmas.
