I've bin contemplating what tool boxes will work for my needs on this truck. A traditional "back of the cab" box would be in the way of loading my 10' bundles of steel . So I've bin shopping for boxes that mount to the sides. But there all either too bulky and stick out too far into the bed, or they cost an arm and ah leg, and would still need to be painted black. So I remembered I had these old ammo cans I bought with the intent of mounting them to my utility trailer for storing ,WELL what I'm storing now. Ratchet straps in one and bungie cords in the other. I welded up one latch to make ah hinge. And welded ah lock hasp on the other side. So now they swing open, and are lockable. Then I painted them black and coated them with bed liner. Then I just ran some self tappers with sealer on them down through into the bed. They sit perfectly flush with the wheel wells so I don't lose any space. ![Ammo can box2.jpg Ammo can box2.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/352/352963-34fb7993e633b66365227ef8afc9bf56.jpg)
