Truck Boxes

Guys I know that this question has been asked before but I wanted to get eveyones opinion.
Should I get a Husky for $230, Kobalt for $268 or Delta Champion for $325.
I know that Delta is built better but its $100 more than a Husky.
Also I know that the Husky and Kobalt is made in the US, is Delta made here?
Thanks ~Gage~

I had a UWS on my 2001 (just pulled it off eariler today). Great box, foam injected lid is very strong. I may toss it on my 2007.

Pulled it off the 01 since I no longer use it for work and it's basically more of a toy now and the box didn't go with the rest of the truck anymore....

I agree...they are all comparable boxes. i have had a DeeZee silver series extra deep box for close to 12 years now....been a great box. All I have done to it is replace the weather seal this past winter. Otherwise it has been in and out of 4 different trucks, and held all sorts of different crap!

Toyota Hauler, I went to Farm&Fleet they have the Delta Champion for $325, thats the only brand I found there.
Weathergaurd is $450 and it looks the same.

my buddy got a floor model, they were getting rid of the older models and he got his low profile Delta for $199.00

he got one that was aluminum, painted black. the paint is just starting to peel, a little, after two years. other than that, no issues with sagging My friend is very happy with it.

I would still do a google search for truck toolboxes and look for UWS(united welding supply), I have their box still and I want to keep it for another Toyota tacoma

how much arte you in and out of the thing?? I am in an out of mine everyday a few times a day...ive had uws, husky, delta(tsc too) and a no namer and they all eventually lost their gas cylinders and they would stoplathcing on both sides without serious force..

Since i went to the wide weathergaurd, i will never go back...The qaulity fit and finish is amazing...the locks, latches, hinges, weatherstripping gas cylinders and the quality of the build are unmatched compared to the others, you get what you pay for with truck boxes...ive found that out over the years for sure
