Talking Truck tool box

Truck tool boxes never bought one. Can anyone fill me in as to what to look for, what to stay away from etc? Thanks in advance. Looking for black diamond plate finish.

Make sure it doesn't come up above the back window, a lot of broken necks in rear end accidents, don't get a shallow one best is the gang box type that sits on the floor of the bed, that way nothing slides and is a cludder gatherer.

alminum, no steel!, so go anodized if ya gotta have black. paint sucks

I had one of the aluminum boxes on my motorhome, was Great, real thick, and held up well to the sand and salt.

For tools or tackle?

I gotta find a pic... I had a white fiberglass one on my 79 chevy... over the winter I fabricated a divider,, drivers side was a tackle box, passengers side was a cooler...

Weatherguard's are probably the best. I filled mine with 500lbs of tools and crap and abused it for 8 years. It has major dentage and still doesn't leak a drop. the locks are first class, too. The biggest full size was about $500, but worth every penny. Give me a call if you can't find one. You can jump on them.
