new reitnouer need advice.

Whatever you decide on the tool boxes Heavy, FWIW I prefer the latches that operate like the door latches on a van or a sea can. The T handle ones don't do it for me.

 

if i may ask why the bar vs T handle?

 

Id like to have that style. T handles are a pain.

 

These guys make a rugged tool box.

I have trouble with my tarps and junk getting in the way of the latch on the handles.

 

Part of the "T" always seems to get broke off. Then there is a spring in there that stops doing its job. And the boxes themselves are made of thin metal.

 

Or something slides onto the latch and you have to force them open. They don't last long after that.

 

ah , ok, thanks for the info, OP sorry for the hijack. rank will have look at the website later on for pricing, they look nice

 

My father had a pickup like the one in your avatar. I think it was a '71 Camper a Special with the big international v8 and a monster rear end.... Like a Dana 90 or something. My brother and I
rode across North America in that camper.

 

I don't think that's a Ford, looks like a grill from an International.
