Custom-Built Toolboxes

Custom-Built Toolboxes FARM SHOP Tools 20-6-33 If you'd like to put a toolbox on a pickup, truck, or trailer, you'll want to take a close look at these custom-made toolboxes offered by a Nebraska distributor. "If you've got a spot for a toolbox, we can make one to fit. We can even paint them to match the colors of your pickup or truck," says sales manager Pat Lubischer, of Gro Master, Inc., about the company's all-welded weather-tight boxes. The low-profile side-mount pickup toolboxes are made from 16 ga. metal and come with a sliding removable tray. They provide easily accessible storage for small parts and tools and can be used in combination with cross-mounted boxes. Both single and double lid versions are available. The single lid model is available from 36 to 72 in. long, 10 1/4 in. high, and 12 in. deep. The double lid model is the same height and depth but is available in 72 and 96 in. lengths. Prices range from $237 for a 36-in. single lid model up to $460 for a 96-in. double lid model. Various semi truck and trailer models are available to mount under frame rails or on top of trailer beds. Boxes can be made from steel or aluminum. One popular accessory is an aluminum "boot box" for semi tractors. It serves as a storage container for dirty footwear and miscellaneous truck tools such as chains, binders, greasy tire jacks, crowbars, etc., and also as a step to service the truck behind the cab. Comes in three models that measure from 12 to 24 in. long, 23 in. high, and 20 in. deep.
