Product Summary
What's Included
- (1) Side-mount truck toolbox (2) Support legs (8) Mounting screws

Solid Construction
Rust-Resistant Aluminum
The heavy-duty solid diamond treadplate aluminum body construction doesn't shy away from the elements, resisting rust and corrosion no matter what type of conditions Mother Nature dishes out.
Strong Welded Seams
The rugged construction starts at the seams. Each seam is 100% fully TIG welded to ensure a solid, lasting seal. And the smooth finished edges throughout the design won't chew up your hands, even without gloves.
Support and Stability Take a Stand
Two rear support legs are included to offer greater stability and support when mounting this box to the vehicle. The legs prevent the box from sagging forward, even when fully loaded!
Lock Out the Elements
A premium weather-resistant seal forms a tight barrier around the box lid that keeps out dirt, dust and moisture, effectively protecting the contents in the box from the outside elements.
Premium Performance Parts
Aligned Right, Closes Tight
The reinforced lid brace provides exceptional strength and is teamed with a pair of patented self-adjusting lid strikers that automatically compensate to keep the lid in perfect alignment. No manual adjustments, no hassles, just a secure closure every time.
The Ease and Security of Truck-Style Pull Handles
Locking truck-style pull handles are stylish and ergonomic, not to mention super easy to operate! Just pull the handle with a couple fingers and the lid pops open, ready for access. And it locks up tight when it's not open.
Easy One-Hand Entry
Premium auto lift self-rising shocks quickly spring to life, opening and closing the box lid with minimal effort, which makes loading or unloading much easier when your hands are already full. Plus, they add maximum stability and allow the lid to open nearly 90°.
Full-Length Hinge Support
When a left- or right- side hinge gets wiggly, loose, or breaks free, a truck box lid can become a nightmare to open and close. This box eliminates those worries. The continuous aluminum piano hinge provides full support down the entire length of the lid; one solid hinge with no weak points.
The Ideal Fit for Your Truck
Easy Mounting
The box is ready to mount with your own choice of hardware. For a dependably secure mount that doesn't require drilling into your truck bed, the Better Built Grip Rite truck box mounting kit is available (Item# 42350, sold separately.)
Space-Saving, Easy-Access Side Mount
The box is specially designed to sit solidly on the truck side rails, leaving plenty of room for additional open storage space in the center of the truck bed. And the side mount allows for much easier access from outside the truck bed.
Versatility to Match Your Truck
This heavy-duty box is designed to fit in the bed of most full-size and mid-size pickup truck makes and models. Measures 48in.L x 11 1/2in.D x 11in.H. Check pickup bed and storage box measurements for compatibility before purchasing.

How is it mounted
1 answer-
ProductExpert29· a month ago
This toolbox is designed to be installed behind the cab using the Grip-Rite Mounting System Model 29510402 (Item #42350). The installation can be done in two ways:
1. Using a single Grip-Rite clamp on each side, which fits through the factory knock-outs for a no-drill, warranty-compliant installation.
2. Alternatively, you can use one ⅜-inch sheet-metal screw on each side, positioned 1 inch from each end, along with cushion strips on the bed rail.Full mounting instructions can be found in the product summary under the downloads section.
