So if anyone knows of a place to buy them, that would be helpful.
I have one now that came on my truck, but I am looking to replace with NOS. Because I restored my truck to Show condition, the Box should look the part too.
I did a search on the manufacturer, CAGE 0WUR2 which comes back to Mobile Power Technologies Inc., Sothfield, MI
Unfortunately, when I try the number it is no longer in service. I'm sure there were other contractors. If anyone checks their boxes, please chime in with the Mfr code on the side of your box. We should be able to find trhe other contractors this way.

Well that is a no-go!
They said, "Gov't Only, we won't make just one." Apparently, they don't stock the boxes, and only make them with a Gov't contract purchase order.
Anyone else with a lead on NOS for the 2 1/2 & 5 Ton trucks?
The NSN is 6160-01-378-0683

Call Memphis Equipment (901-774-0600)...ask for Roy in parts. They are pricey, but they have everything if you can't find it elsewhere. I used to have them on speed dial for those parts I could not find anywhere else. I can't remember what I was quoted, but I seem to remember something like $175...at least when I last asked several years ago.
CSI?
Do you have contact info?
I spoke with Memphis, and they only have used right now. Seems that Lanzen, is the only Contractor to make these boxes, and since the 900 series are not using them, If they don't produce more, What's out there will be it!
Memphis tried to have them made new by Lanzen, and they got such a ridiculous price to manufacture and ship, that it wouldn't be worht trying to sell them. No one would buy, so I guess, I will have to stay with waht I have.
At least it isn't that bad. I just wanted new, but mine certainly will work with a show truck,
hndrsonj, let me know about CSI.

I am not familiar with the battery boxes but I am familiar with plastics manufacturing
.
Talk with those people and see if they will overrun the next order......it will avoid set up fees etc.................heck buy a 100 lot overrun and make a buck. Just an idea
