Tool box in bed

[Volfandt]

Thanks. The wood is old pine tongue & groove inside paneling off a long gone log cabin that I stripped out and was originally dark stained.
I had some Behr transparent deck stain left over and gave it coat or 2.
It was only supposed to be temporary and that was 5 yrs ago...

The PO put this one in my '50 PU. I removed it however.

if using on an AD truck, the early ones had sloped bedside tops instead of flat. the "cross the bed" style toolbox wouldn't work. I like the idea of the old metal sided cooler though. an old chest style pop machine would look cool too but would likely be too tall for the box sides unless cut down. there are also lots of prebuilt toolboxes for tow trucks etc. they would be sealed but may not have the rounded corners etc.

Mine is a modern toolbox I got at a ranch supply store. It is level to the bed rails and works good.
