Small Tool Box For Pick-Up Truck Bed

I built this to carry small tools or stuff I buy at the store to protect the items from the rain.
It is small but I wanted to be able to take it out of the truck in case I needed to carry large items.
I did not want a hinged cover because on a nice sunny day I could carry taller items such as groceries,etc.
Also if I have a small job to do for someone I can throw the tools in this box rather than letting them slide all over the truck bed loose.

spending 5 minutes putting a hinge on wouldn't be better then taking 4 wing nuts off and lifting a lid completely off every time?

@mxrace709 Correct!, Hee Hee since this video was made I removed the 4 bolts and wing nuts and put 2 hasps on it, one at each end, where the pad lock would go I put a bungee cord to keep the whole from sliding around in the truch bed.

I don't worry about locking it because I don't keep stuff in it over night.

BTW, I took it out for the winter, the bed is loaded with snow right now.

@TheSharky666 Thank You, for the winter I took out the box.

The handles will make it easier for a thief to carry away.

@FreeTalkLive, Well good luck to them it weighs 50 pounds and is empty.

I only use it to put small tools in when it is raining, i never leave the tools in it.

Like when I have to do a small job for someone, etc.

@JeffN727 The extended cab may be fine, but who wants to get the cab all messed up with tools?

When I had my car the back seat was a mess hauling wood, tools, etc. in it.

The box should work out good for you Bill. That's the problem with pickup trucks. Even though there is lots of space for hauling, there's not a lot of space to store stuff. If I was going to get a pickup, it would have to have an extended cab.
