Truck tool box recommendations?

[Pops15]

I've had Reading boxes and really liked the quality. I've also had a cheaper set. Can't remember the brand but they came from Farm & Fleet. I didn't like the hinges on them, and the paint on them was terrible.
The bedside boxes hold a lot more than the crossover boxes but they cut down on your vision.

. Any reason other than there looks folks are not installing side-bed tool boxes?

One reason is that they stick into bed far enough that 4' wide sheet goods have to slide under them. If the support legs are mounted inside the wheelwells you have less than 4'. They do make it nice for not having to climb in and out of the truck for getting tools out.

Check the edges of the metal. Coastal Farm Supply carries some brand that looks nice, looks sturdy, but the edges of the metal will cut you.

I've got a Delta Champion on my truck. I can't really compare it to anything since its the first I had but it seems to be doing well.

I had a kobalt tool box from lowes and i would not reccomend it to anyone. The price is right but it always leaked and would never stay shut even after pulling over and slamming it shut. I happen to have a weather gaurd tool box in my company truck and i love it. I keep clothes and maps in it and have never had a problem with it leaking or opening even though I have only had it a year so far.
