fish box

[awthacker]

I was looking inside this hole in the floor of my '82 and thought that if I could insulate and glass it, it would make a nice fish box. Has anyone seen any similar modifications that I could use as reference or have any suggestions on the process of doing this

I have a hinged one in the floor of my 87 dually and I have used it several times for fish / cooler ...Ive put a couple bags of ice and it stay for a couple days so that tells me it must be insulated ...mines rite behind the fuel tank most of the time its full of rope and junk.

must have round corners and best if light blue in color if you use as live well ever. insulate with 1 1/2" to 2 " house foam and glass up easy weekend project.

Rope & "junk".......junk = cleaning supplies.

I have a '78 V20 that I converted the storage box into a fish cooler or "catch all" works great, keeps ice for days..

That's exactly what I'm looking to do. So... just fill it full with "Great Stuff", carve it out to form, then glass & paint? That should be manageable. Nice work on yours.

That's all you do. I put a thru hull drain and a light in as well. I also put in a rubber mat that I got fom Home Depot to protect the fiberglass, Good luck.
