    That's sharp.
    I have room for a frame box, and desperate need for more storage. I was looking and Pro Tech I think, but may have them built by my neighbor who does good aluminum work.

    I don't have a need for a lot of storage and have more than I need anymore. I have nee thinking about building an aluminum hydraulic tank that sits between the frame under my headache rack. All I need for my use is a 20 gallon tank, and it would be cleaner than hanging off of a frame rail.

    The 3 door is a PITA sometime. This new one that my co. Just installed on the trucks, usually i keep my coil racks and dunnage in middle door, well this box is smaller so the dunnage doesnt fit and they didnt put any thing on the sides of the box for coildunnage like i see alot of guys have. ,so its strapped to the catwalk. Im Waiting to come in contact with the wrong dot officer having a bad day and get written up for it :rolleyes:

    I just want to be able to keep my nice new Crosby binders out of the mag-chloride and salt. I would like have some boxes built to mount to my existing headache rack. Probably much less expensive than a new enclosed rack.

    The construction company out of vancouver wa, I used to pull for rigged everything out, oickups and all with protech boxes. I ask one day and was told their yard was right down the road from protech and they bought blems cheap from them. I never noticed anything wrong with the stuff, but that is what I was told. I have looked into having custom aluminum boxes built, mainly to be built heavier than what is available, but the prices I got were spendy.

    yea i wondered about doing that as well. adding boxes to the underside of the box on each side, but i already have a LOT of weight in it.
