Wood Toolboxes, Bed Liner For Pickups

Wood Toolboxes, Bed Liner for Pickups PICKUPS Accessories 11-6-7 "I lined my pickup box with 3/4-in. plywood and then built toolboxes into normally wasted space above and ahead of the wheel wells," says David Smyth, Stettler, Alberta. "Both front boxes are 36 in. long at the top while the back boxes, directly over the wheels, are 22 in. long. The 9-in. wide boxes were built with 3/4-in. angle iron bracing and 'piano'-type hinges. The lids slope down-ward to shed rainwater and snow. Each lid can be locked. "The toolboxes were designed so that a 4 by 8-ft. sheet of plywood still lays flat between the wheel wells. I've used the toolboxes for 3 years and, other than surface wear, they've served me well hauling miscellaneous tools, a jack, tow rope, chains, booster cables, oil, trouble light and other odds and ends. Total oil If-pocket cost was just $44." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, David Smyth, 4006-65th St., Stettler, Alberta Canada TOC 2L0.
