What do you always keep in the truck box?

Decent size socket kit, zip ties (the good ones-nylon- NOT the crappy little plastic junk ones that rot off in a year), jumper cables, Hi-lift, empty 2 gal. gas can (gas gauge is screwy) assorted nuts/bolts/washer/ whatsitz, chain, goofy hooks for connecting chain to cars, tow/recovery strap, 4 way lug wrench and spare lugnuts. Most times, extra oil, ATF for powersteering (hey, it's a Ford... it can't help but leak.) and maybe a light duty compressor.

All the time: Towing and hitch stuff for my trailer, tie downs for my motorcycles, jack tools and wheel chocks, jumper cables, a small vinyl tarp for laying on the ground if need be next to or under the truck.
When traveling (which is a half dozen times a year): All of the above plus a small Craftsman tool box with all the sockets and other stuff I need for a basic roadside repair, a jug of 50/50 coolant, and a jug of bug wash/windshield washer anti-freeze.

I usually keep it horizontal under the back jump seats. I wanna do vertical but haven't made a strap to hold it yet.

In my other truck? Its a rolling shop, with just about every tool one would ever need in home improvement... I usually have to hand out drool cups to the other contractors on jobs I go to...
