Nice truck box storage
Built a pretty nice truck. Driving it lots and taking it to shows. Problem once you built a nice truck (box nicely finished) there is very little in way of storage. Going a distance over night to shows its kinda nice to take luggage and some folding chairs and stuff. Not going to throw them in the finished box. Any ideas?

Re: Nice truck box storage
Do you have a bumper hitch?
Is a trailer with a cover an option for you?

Re: Nice truck box storage
I have been thinking about this too. It's not just about the bed wood there's also the nice painted sides that stuff can slide into.
Here are my ideas so far ( haven't done anything yet) 1: Build a box with magnets on the bottom that would line up with the metal strips. Even thought about using these switchable magnets to install/ remove . https://www.amazon.com/Magnetpro-Mul...1zcF9hdGY&th=1 2: Add a hitch and use one of these racks. Then I could probably take a small cooler too. https://www.harborfreight.com/500-lb...SABEgIj3fD_BwE

Easy to move around when you get where you're going and it would look cool hanging on the back of a truck

Re: Nice truck box storage
My truck. Yes the fuel tank is moved. Lol. Bed is raised. Worse thing I own for carrying car show stuff. Thinking of large tote with carpet/felt underneath.

Re: Nice truck box storage
I don't have a good suggestion but just wanted to chime in and compliment the truck. If anyone hasn't read through his build thread, I recommend it.
If you could fabricate a nice/slick tonneau cover that is able to be folded in three sections or lift a section on hinges/struts. |
