Im getting tired of looking at my huge over the rail toolbox, its silver and im in the process of doing away with polished metal and i havnt made up my mind if i want to paint it or not. So im thinking about getting a chest tool box to put in the truck that isnt as noticable. I didnt know if any of you guys had them or what your experiences are with them. So if you a pic or a comment post it up. Thanks!

 

I'll post a pic in the morning. I have a uaw chest tool box

 

I was actually looking at a small gang/tool box to sit in the bed up near the cab. It wont stick up over the bed rails at all.

 

My chest tool box sits in the bed and it sticks about an inch abouce the bed sides

 

Here IS ONE IN A STEPPIE:



I found this on the web, call ed the guy but I can’t remember where/when If I find the invoice I will post.
Advertised with .062 thk wall but this one is .125, had to order it special; the thin stuff flexed too much.

 

Pictures! Lol maybe these will help

 

 

How did you guys mount them?

 

I'll take a pic of it but it's just hooks and one side has a lock on it.

 

Oh yeah I see it now. Could you secure it with the bed bolts?

 

i have a ultra low pro on bed rail tool box, it sticks up only 1 and half inchs

 

I drilled three holes in the bed and it's bolted down.

 

yeah i would probably want to bolt it down. 04 ranger do you know how wide yours is? I have some shovels and axes and stuff that i would need to fit in there.

 

damn this thread makes me drool. i want one of these bad. so i can run a toolbox with my shell.

 

I didn't bother using bed bolts or anything, I wanted to be able to take it out quickly if I needed to. I've ran that box with those hooks for almost 7 years and I've had no issues

 

That is the way it should be done.

I am working on a rear support system that attaches to my back rack and extends down to the bed.
I think the weight of the tools and such will keep it in place but just to be sure I will attach it (somehow) to my back rack.

Watch the metal thickness.

I can’t find my paperwork on where I got it from, I will keep looking.

 

justin where did you get yours from?

 

Tractor Supply Company, I don't even remember if it was made for any certain vehicle. I just measured the inside of the bed and went with that

 

I'd love an inbed. I have a Stanley one but I don't really trust it. (It's thinnish plastic.)

 

alright thanks. I'll have to go there in a little bit

 

I can get a measurement tomorrow but I have a shovel in there its a short shovel it's about waist high. There is about three inches of space between the bed sides and toolbox.... Maybe that will give you an idea

 

Wrong vehicle but this is an idea for you. I got a good deal on a polished aluminum box so I got it and bedlined it with herculiner.
