so im lookin for a toolbox for the 07 150. i cant afford a new one right now so im lookin into gettin a used one cheap. are toolboxes vehicle specific or do they just go by if its a fullsize or midsize? like my truck is ex cab w/ 6.5 ft bed, so will a toolbox on another truck w/ the same specs like a chevy or another brand that excab w/ a 6.5ft bed fit my truck? thanks

 

They just go buy fullsize, etc. You need a 60" one

 

Generic full size should work since you have the 6.5 bed (no need to worry about wheel well).

 

ok. sweet. i just need to find one cheap to put all my **** in. lol

 

i think im gettin one for xmas now. so what brands do you guys like that arent crazy expensive? im tlkn around 3-350 so ik weatherguard is outta the question. what do yall think about the Delta toolboxes? they have them at rural king and look like pretty nice boxes compared to the ones they used to carry.

 

I saw some nice low profile black diamond plate boxes at a line-x place in Nicholasville a while back, made by trailfx. I could back sworn they were in the 300-350 range at the store but it was quite a while ago.
TrailFX - Car and Truck Accessories: Tubular Products, Tool Boxes, Cargo Management, Bed Protection and Exterior Styling
They looked nice, but you may have to look around a bit to find them.

 

Heh, I love these topics.

I am around truck boxes all day long with almost every one being a different brand. I have Husky's on my truck, and they are crap. Don't waste your money on them. Kobalts are only a small step above those. However, if you're just going to be throwing tools you won't be needing every day in there, I'd go for one.

Delta and Weathergaurd are the best brands, IMO. They are built for being used and abused. They are expensive, but WELL worth the money. I am looking for one right now for the right price.

 

i saw those at the local car effects shop and yea, they are very nice. ik a guy that has a lowpro on his work truck and he likes it pretty well. only thing is that the shop owner said that they dont make it for the f150 (which ik is BS) and that he reccomended UWS. i was also told by him that the reason trail FX is cheaper than other brands like on bull bars and such is that they make everything for westin and some other companies and the other company just puts their name on it. the westin black bullbar is like 350 and the trail fx is 150-200.

 

the deltas arent too bad. at rural king for a delta fullsize lowpro is either 329 or 349 (ones black and the others polished). most boxes i have experience w/ seem to be the same other then the locking mechanism and everything. the actual boxes seem about the same quality

 

Toolbox's aren't made model specific. Just get a 60" box and you'll be good to go

 

thats what i though. when you say 60" are you tlkn bout the length from the ends of the box that are on the rails or just of the box thats in the bed?

 

I'm pretty sure thats the inside of the bed sides.

 

ok. bc the website brain posted said 70" was for the f150

 

70" is probably the entire length, I think 60" is the part that goes inside the bed.

 

61 inches from inside bedrail to inside bedrail.

 

ok. i see now. thanks
