Which box did you start with again?
No name box from Amazon, $28.00, see my Build Thread, Then, In the Middle, and the Rest of the Story.

I didn't take before and after pictures or any pictures during the mod cycle, sorry.  I was doing it and that was a biggy for me.

The shape was the same except it was deeper and the notch on the top wasn't there, maybe I could find a picture form Amazon.

Stock Photo from Amazon:





I needed it smaller to fit behind the seats on a Standard 2-dr Cab, and still retain some Seat rearward movement, at least enough for the wife to feel comfortable and my 6'2" frame to fit.

I cut the notch first, then the rest of the back panel was cut off, 1.5" in from the back, using a table saw.

Cleaned up the panel and glued the panel back in place, only the box was thinner.

I took the part that was cut for the notch and cleaned it up, flipped it and glued it back in the same place except flipped.

A couple of hitches hit me but my fault and I think I can correct for them, the box fits tight, a little too tight but should work.
