Most likely purchasing a new used truck in the next month or so. Been searching and finally have it down to a select few. No matter which truck I select, it will be set up for my needs as soon as possible. I have always had at least a toolbox on my truck, sometimes multiple, but recently I have been looking into getting a transfer tank as well. I run equipment and spend a lot of time bouncing around between different farms and feel as though it would be a very good investment for me. I have seen quite a few combo units that are Transfer tanks with built in toolboxes, do any of you have anything like that or have any recommendations? I would preferably like to have the hose/nozzle/pump enclosed and a nice sized toolbox. Thanks in advance!

If I had a diesel in my truck I would probably look at doing that. Sometimes diesel is hard to find when we get away from the busy roads.

Check out RDS on my 3rd. Also owned transfer flow. They sell direct and through northern tool.

I needed a low profile combo for my F150 step side. For aesthetics I wanted the top of the tank to be below the rear window. Had to fab up my own.

10ga. steel construction with 3/16" aluminum diamond plate lid for the tool box. 85 gallon tank with baffle. 12v pump with filter and digital meter and auto shut off nozzle. There's a remote switch to disable power to the pump.

Transfer Flow makes good stuff. Their my choice. https://www.transferflow.com/

I think I may have found the ticket on there! Couldn't find a model, but saw a picture of a regular crossover box that sits on the bed rails, and has a 30-40 gallon tank in the bottom of it. Going to have to contact them. Thanks!

Leaning towards Transfer Flow, but did check out RDS and liked some of their ideas. Thanks!

Wow! If I was as good in the shop as you I would probably do the same. Looks great!

Thanks Kyle, but I can't take the credit for this one. I didn't have the ability to (easily) shear and brake the 10 gauge sheet so it was easier to just farm out the entire job to a local shop.

Plus this was eight or nine years ago when we were all busy and actually MAKING money. :)

I had a tool box fuel tank combo on a couple pickups. They work well but I much prefer a separate fuel tank and a montezuma style tool box.

For what it is worth I dont think any are approved for gas only diesel. You probably already know.
