Finding the Right Tool Box for Your Pickup
I can remember back when I was a boy, riding with my grandfather in his pickup truck. It was a 50′s model Chevy that had certainly seen its share of jobs and jobsites! He was a carpenter by trade and an avid collector and owner of all kinds of tools! He always had his jobsite toolbox in the bed of the truck. I can remember it rolling and rattling around back there as we drove around, sliding and banging against the bed walls with each turn, and tumbling like big dice when he hit a pot hole or a bump in the road! Being the smart man that he was ( he was my grandfather for crisake! ) he moved some bags of fertilizer, his spare tire, and a couple of 5 gallon paint buckets into the bed, and surrounded that tool box with them. He wedged things in around the wheel wells so nothing moved. Problem solved!!
