Picked up a 2018 Super Crew last summer and my Husky storage box from the 2011 I traded in didn’t really work with the newer model. I just couldn’t bring myself to paying $180 for a new Husky box so I decided to try something different. I was able to pick up a Pelican Vault rifle case for less than $100 and got to work.
This is the factory “box”. Basically a piece of plastic bolted to the two seat frames.
I removed that as shown.
I had to make a spacer piece that bolted to all seat frames. This is all 3/4 MDF sprayed with bed liner paint. This recreated the factory box, gave me something to attach the rifle case to, and provides a spacer for the lid to clear everything when opening.
I took the two straps from the old Husky box and put a grommet in each. This allowed me to bolt to the rifle case with 1/4” hardware.
Here is the box all installed. I still need to organize and put rest of the tools in my truck but thinking I am going to like this better than the Husky box.
