Question Tool Chest / Box

Looking for a nice black tool chest that sits below the bed rails.
Any suggestions?
Please list brands and prices.

I bought a black one from Tractor Supply that sets on the bed rails on my Super Crew, but I'm pretty sure they had the ones that set flat in the bed also. Mine was jsut over $200 and was made by Delta. Good luck!

If you have a Sportsmans Warehouse they have the under the bed rail chest and an over the bed rail style in black for $250. Can't remember brand though, should be cheaper in the lower 48.

Why is it that a black diamond plate tool box costs more than a "shiny" tool box?Couldn't you just buy a "shiny" tool box and a can of black spray paint and paint it yourself? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

It may be that they do a "powder coat" process to the "shiny" boxes to make them "shiny black". That might explain the extra costk, just a thought.

Because (spray) paint would just come right off and the black anoized finish lasts longer.

i picked up a delta a while back at shucks for 100 dollars almoston the dot if i remember right. I bought it because of the shortness so i could still stuff my motorcycle or atv in the back and get the gate closed all the way, so that i could still pull a trailer at the same time without buggering up my tailgate on the touge jack of a trailer. might be somethign to consider if you have toys...

Mine is holding up real well, probably would retain it's shine better if I would polish it. A bird "spotted" me and by the time I found it the finish was bad in that spot. Other than that I've had it for two years and lookin' good!
