V-boxes

One more post on truck accessories for the fiver owner. I've seen a few of those V-cut toolboxes like the one in the photo. They look like they'd be pretty handy for carrying around a good-sized set of tools, whether or not you happen to be towing. In searching the web for this post, I ran across several different variations on the same general design.

If you've got a lot of tools or other stuff, another option is to put a full depth box up front behind the cab and what they refer to as a partner box behind the hitch. The partner box is half-depth, allowing full clearance for hitching the trailer. The ads say that the box can be opened when hitched, something that may not be so easy with the V-box. If I needed the storage in my truck, I'd check out both approaches. — Jerry Brown
