Ok, I have posted about this trailer I am building (bedliner problems before, got that fixed. I STRONGLY reccomend Herculiner products...Duplicolor sucks....) Now I need tool boxes. I think I would like some the style of underbed tool boxes. What gauge/thickness should I build these out of? I cant find any premade ones I like, or are the right size, so I'll make them myself....

Next question....Could somone tell me the exact steps to post pictures on here. I would like to, but know about computers as much as I do brain surgery....I dont recomend you hire me to perform brain surgery either......I have a digital camera, and can get the pictures on the computer.....then what???? Thanks in advance...Mike
 
I would reconsider those home made boxes.

When I worked at the weld shop we had all the tools needed to build them (shear, press brake and so on).

You can buy them less than your expenses to build if you figure your time. And you will never get them water tight without the brake and so on.

I built my own and wish I would have bought 3 years later when all my tools rusted.

If you use a brake on the doors and bend in all the channels needed to direct the water away they work much better.

Google for tool box company sites to get more ideas and price ready made ones. Like Gary said it's hard to make something weather tight but it can be done. See lots of ads and pics of welder beds and boxes on welder forums like this one...

you might look in the northern tool's master catalog, all kinds of underbody tool boxes in there and some cheaper that you can build it yourself if you count all your time, they got some like on gary's truck below all the way up to polished diamond plate if you got to have style and shine on your boxes
 
Spark, search the archives. There are several ways to do this. It.s also somewhat different from the modern to classic sites. OR! go to one of the Galleries to the left and add your own picture. then try it from there. You'll make. David...........
