I just got a truck side tool box.Can anyone give me measurements and some reference pictures so i can put it in my truck.I am putting it in a '72 on the passanger side.I think the bed needs to be flanged so i can put the box in then put the door on.I guess the back of the box fastens to the top of the frame with brackets that it came with.

The bed IS flanged. Try to find a junk box, that is missing the toolbox. (usually the door will rust off) then you can cut out the flange area, making your swap a whole lot easier.
