Buyers Products 1702300 is a locking black steel underbody truck tool box measuring 18 in. high × 18 in. deep × 24 in. wide. Its drop-down door gives you access to small tools and equipment through a 15.2 in. high × 20.7 in. wide opening.
The 14-gauge steel body and door have a powder-coated finish, and the locking stainless steel T-handle compression latch helps secure the contents. A continuous hidden stainless steel hinge, aircraft-grade door cables and replaceable D-bulb seal support regular truck-service use. Underbody mounting brackets are sold separately.
The recessed door closes against a replaceable gasket to help keep weather and grime away from stored equipment. Powder coating covers the box inside and out for corrosion resistance. This configuration provides an open storage compartment without a shelf, so check both the outside dimensions and the smaller door opening against the equipment you need to carry.
