Tool boxes? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone have a pic or feedback from a UWS 69" tool box? Any pictures? I'm on the fence as the body of the lip on the bedside doesn't completely cover the stake pockets (it leave a little opening on each side) and was wondering if it had any mounting issues.

I'm also interested in any other brand or style too. Thank in advance!

most of my trucks have a tool box at some point. UWS has a good box as does weatherguard.. they hold up well and the locks are pretty good stay away from the ones in Lowes and tractor supply those are cheaply made the harbor freight of tool boxes I tend to keep mine in a postion to access the stake pockets for tying stuff down

I have had a couple of weather guard heavy duty ones, and have found them to be excellent quality.

Since get mine out of pick a part I have to fix and or modify them to do what I want. I have put eye bolts with a backing of 1/4 plate steel on both sides for tie downs, and ever put them on the top once for some reason. Seemed to work well for me.

I also raptor lined one inside, and out. For looks, and quietness.
