Looking for truck bed tool box ideas - Post Pics

[muntz]

I don't have any pictures handy but I bought a DiamondBack HD cover in black with their 13" deep "cross bin" accessory. The cross bin is similar in dimensions to what you'd have in a standard tool box. There's roughly a 5" gap under it, between the cross bin and the bed, so you could still carry full sheets of plywood, etc. without any modifications. The cover is installed using clamps, so you can take it off in maybe 10-15 minutes if needed.

under cover swing case. lids lock and they lock to the truck. also fit under a cover...as the name suggests lol. not giving up a lot of bed space was a factor for me. i also like the ability to access the boxes from the rear of the truck.

I have been considering a bed cover with a tool box for my truck. The DiamondBack looks like it could stand up to the needs of my husband. My hubby is a version of Tim the Toolman. His philosophy is bigger, faster, more power and of course more weight.

 

His truck is a 66 C-20, and mine is the 20015 Z71. He is not allowed to haul gravel, rocks, dirt or anything else that is going to ding up my truck. He can use his 66 for that kind of work. But I would like to be able to haul tools, gear and equipment with mine and still have it secure.

Finally got a box installed. I went with the Husky Lo-Pro toolbox from Home Depot. Exactly what I was looking for.

The Husky os Junk trust me went threw 3 in a year to i got a cover. .. the low profile Tractor Supply is deeper and I know two people that have had no problems gor almost a year

How much did you give for the TonneauMate? I'm seeing ~$400. I can get 2 swing cases for that and still have $$.

 

I apologize for the late answer to this question - Here you go:

 

For my '14 GMC Sierra - 8 Ft. Long bed -

 

New Truxedo Deuce2 Tonneau Cover (Installed): $450.00

 

New Truxedo TonneauMate ToolBox (Installed): $370.00

 

Plus sales tax.

 

 

Toolbox is 55" long, 22" wide and 15" tall and sits off the bed floor maybe 6-7 inches.

I have a low profile Camlocker and couldn't be happier with it. Once you experience the latches / handles you will not want any other brand.

What issues were you having with them?

Those do look nice. Not really wanting to spend a close $600 on a toolbox though. Does yours have the rails on top?

Nice box - I picked up the higher profile Husky for mine on CL...$60 & a new lock/key set for $5.

 

Now you need to get some tools to fill it! Looks clean!

Thank you sir. Very pleased with it so far. Also got the husky toolbox liner at home depot to keep things from rattling on the bottom of the box. You can see it in there.

 

Since I have taken that picture, I put my tow strap, jumper cables, bunch of tow straps, tool box, and floor jack. Love having all of that stuff out of my back seat!

No rails on mine. I think I paid around $450 a few years ago.

 

They are expensive but they are really nice. You can easily open and close the latches with 2 fingers

Yea that looks good. The rails on the other ones killed it for me.

heck yes. I bought one of these and I love it! I questioned how large it was to fit all my junk, but I can easily fit my tow strap, bungees/ ratchet straps, gloves & trailer hitch inside with room to spare. I keep a small tool box inside under the back seat for hand tools, but I could fit all that stuff in the swing case if I wanted to.

 

Plus if you want it out of the way to use the full bed, it lifts off the bracket in 2 seconds.

You can get stuff out without removing low profile tonneau cover, just drop the tail gate and release the lever.

I highly recommend this tool box for anyone who does not need the big one all the way across the front of the bed. You can put one on each side for double the space.

I have standard crossover box. Plan is to maybe add a tonneau cover behind it.

 

May I suggest you hit craigslist. I paid $60 for this.
