Yadda-- I cheated, That is not the original lock or key to that box there is a funny story behind how I got that box and the original key chain.

Well ok here it goes, It was my dads he bought it new of the truck. He had not even had it a year when he needed some money and sold it to my uncle. About a year ago I Dad told me about it when I wanted to get a box of my own and it was Christmas time when I started talking about it and since my uncle had passed and my aunt had no use fort it so Dad got it back from her and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. When he sold by some odd chance he kept the original key chain.

Great story,  your dad and mine are a lot alike.  Never throw anything that might be useful away.

I must correct you on one thing I'm the one who never throws stuff away My dad used to collect junk like me but mom got after him about it so down the road went old rusted out trucks, lawn mowers boxes of car partsand more tiers and scrap metal then you could shake a stick at and by the time he got to the sheds I relized that after about a hour of sorting he just started tosing so i started going through the buckets of "Junk" and pulled out all kinds of good stuff and then decided that junk collecting was fun and that how I became known as the JUNK-MAN.

Been there, done that!!!  One mans Junk is another's treasure..   

If it is "Useless" it is Junk,  So just find a "Use" for it, now it has worth..
