X36, thanks so its more like cut one off and weld it on.. Too bad the bed around it it rusty.. As for on the drivers side, the truck that has the toolbox, on the buck tag it has tool box and pass side stamped on it..

Never came on the DS, only passenger side. Lostinfords put one on the DS and it looks factory.

I have the toolbox on my truck. I'd LOVE to have it on the DS also. Its' really a useful option. I keep the extra alternator, voltage regulator, ignition module, jumper cables, and cross all size lug wrence there, along with a box of extra fan belts and hoses. I'd like one on the other side to keep other stuff like electrical wiring, lightbulbs, fuses, misc. tools, filters, etc.

this is one thing that I think is the greatest idea ever all that wasted space under the bed put to good use why did ford not continue this why didn't people ask for it? Now you see it starting to pop up again the new nissian trucks have one behind the rear wheel its smaller and the honda ridgeline (I think) has the under the bed box.

I've been wanting to add a Passenger and Drivers side box to mine. Does anyone know of supplier for the box or will I have to find them in old beds?

Let's see how many really want to buy one, boxed up ready to be shipped. No serious rust issues or dents. Originally had the lower trim, have that if you need it for a tu-toned truck.
