Underbody mounting brackets are sold separately.
The Buyers Products 1705110 diamond-tread aluminum underbody tool box provides locking storage in an 18-inch-high by 18-inch-deep by 48-inch-wide configuration. Its single recessed drop door has two die-cast compression latches, giving you front access to tools and equipment.
The body and door are made from 0.100-inch aluminum for corrosion resistance. This box can be mounted on a suitable flat surface or beneath a truck body using separately purchased mounting brackets. Check the mounting space and the room needed below the box for the door to open before choosing this drop-door configuration.
The recessed door, continuous aluminum hinge and replaceable D-bulb gasket work together to help keep weather and grime away from stored gear. Door-support cables help prevent door damage, while the two locking compression latches pull the closure tight and help deter theft.
