Hi ya'll,<br><br>I was at the local Dodge dealer coughing up $8 for a climate control knob today. I asked the girl running the parts counter how much would it be for the panel that goes behind the seat on a reg cab, and all the bins and hooks etc. (I got a basic model with just sheet metal)? Well, she started adding and I stopped her 'cause it was obvious this wasn't going to be cheap. She did tell me she had a customer recently ask the same thing; apparently he wound up buying the hooks from them and then went to Home Depot and bought plastic window planters for flowers and used those for the bins.<br><br>Clever idea, much less than the $40 for the OEM model bins. And danged nice of the girl to suggest it. I bought the whole assembly out of a junkyard (still expensive), but I thought the bin tip was worth passing along.<br><br>Wish I could take the credit for being clever, hope this helps,<br><br>Rob

But you do get credit for sharing that information and that's what this is all about, right?
