Truck
tool boxes are by and large constructed of aluminum or steel and fit
snugly against the back of the truck cab. Aluminum boxes are advantages
because they’re lightweight, improving fuel economy. Steel boxes
are heavier, which means they are tougher and more secure. Truck bed
tool boxes are available in a vast array of sizes and styles and can
be customized.
Prevalent styles of truck tool boxes include:
• Crossover- The industry standard, mounted across the back of
the cab.
• Low-profile- Crossover or side-mount, as long as it’s
flush with the top of the bed.
• Dual-lid- Allows easy access from either side of the bed.
• Single-lid- It’s exactly what it sounds like.
• Side-mount- These fit on one side of the bed or the other, also
known as wheel-mounts.
Stainless steel truck tool boxes provide the security of regular steel,
without the risk of corrosion. Stainless steel is a bit more pricy than
other materials, but if you care about what’s inside your box,
it’s worth it. Tool boxes can be custom built, if necessary to
fit any make and model. The inside configuration can also be modified
to fit the needs of any professional.
