Ok, so my girlfriend's dad had a Delta tool box on his Ranger back in the day. He has had it sitting out behind the barn for several years now. He told me the other day I could have it if I wanted it, I went and looked at it and was like heck no! I started looking around for a low profile black diamond plate box and saw that the average one ran 289-329. I said, well, maybe I can make do with his box. I brought it home and started cleaning it on one corner with some stuff you can buy from Lowe's in the toolbox section. It worked ok, but I wanted better results. Went to AutoZone and bought some stuff called Blue Magic and a Mother's PowerBall. Well, you can see the results below. I will be adding pics of it on my truck later today, if I don't like the way it looks, being as it isn't low profile and not black, then I will just sell it. On to the pics!

 

looks good man buff it an mothers is the ****

 

looks good man it isnt that tall compaired to a few i have seen

 

The Delta Low-pro tool box I have was about $209 when I bought it. Box it looking good, but still to tall imo.

 

looks good, nice job on bring it back to life.

 

Cleaned up really well... I look forward to seeing it tomorrow.

 

Trigger... In my opinion it's too tall as well, but for 209 bucks, it serves it's purpose and I think I MIGHT be able to deal with it : )

 

what are yall schemin for tomorrow?

 

Understandable.

 

Could always paint it black..

I mean they got BBQ spray paint out there for grills, sticks to just about anything...

It's a flat black, and looks like some of those BBQ/Smokers

 

That's an idea... because I'm sure a powdercoating shop would charge and arm and a leg, but there is no telling. Ryan, tomorrow we are hitting up the junk yard. I actually have a couple new junkyards in mind too if Frank has time. Maybe we will get lucky and find a Level II LOL.

 

probably $300 max if you shop around

 

Added pics of the toolbox on the truck. Let me know what yall think, sell it or keep it?

 

looks good keep it

its free looks good and its free what more can you ask for

i do understand about the hight but the chrome looks good on you truck and has more storage to boot

 

True, I believe I am going to keep it. It looks better than I thought. I figured a regular height tool box in chrome would be too much, maybe not.

 

i some times wish my black one was lower but i like the extra storage then the lower ones

 

invest in some flitz polish, then use it with the powerball. that always gave me the best finish on my old toolbox.

 

looks nice, and I don't think it's too tall... its the exact same one I'm looking at for my truck!

 

i vote bullbar+hellas back on

 

Those are kinda sold, plus with the tool box and all, I think they make my truck a little too "busy."

 

then update avatar!!

 

Looks good, now make some CB antenna brackets and mount them

 

I say keep it and maybe spray it iwht some bedliner kits, or flat black paint... I remeber plasti-kote sold a paint that had a rough feel to it used for alot of heavy duty stuff, and even sub boxes... I have a toolbox in my backyard from my old ranger and wanna use it but it needs new lifts and polishing wont help it because it has some weird pitting so I might paint it...

 

It looks great man!

Good JOB!!

Leave it as is!

 

Looks great and Nice find.

I think its at a good height.
