Tuffy Security Drawer below DRIVER seat

[Colo77Bronco]

Contemplating mounting one under the driver seat floor and face cutting a hole for the front and welding the face in so it looks factory. Not going with a aux fuel tank and would like to use the space. Thoughts?

Sounds interesting. I am putting slide out drawers in the rear of mine with a shelf at bed height. That way I basically have a trunk, even when the top is off. I am also putting in a tailgate lever that has a keyed lock. So you can lock the tailgate itself and secure the trunk.

Show us some pictures if you do it.

if you plan on doing it. Lower the floor at least an inch. It will give you much more seat options if you plan to get new seats.

I think every reproduction body made now, and the replacement floors, should have the option of driver side floor dropped to match passenger side. SO many things I would do if I were one of the big companies doing high dollar builds.

I am doing a custom floor for mine. My friend did a project like mine and I am using his build as the template for my Bronco Project.

These are a couple of his build pictures. He is a killer fabricator and has taught me a lot. That work was done by Glen Straightiff of Complete Fabrication. His was a race Bronco, but mine will be a 4 seater toy.

Box isn't water tight, so would need to box in or drop floor. It seems like a lot of effort for little return. Do a locking center console.

I agree it would be nice as part of a new body. It would be great for someone to come up with a drop-in solution for existing bodies. Icon4x4 has an under-seat drop in but it's specifically for the sub woofer and does not have direct access.
