Well there's that plus you gotta realise some guys can't see past their own need a 600 lb job site box in their trucks. To haul their gym bag and lap top.

Personally I'd go with the gull wing. You can still get a sheet of plywood inside the box.

Plywood goes in the trailer. Better yet, get a contractor to do that shixt and he can haul it hisownself.

I understand, Sam. I'd be pissed at that comment too but what are ya gonna do?

You're a good man, busting your balls like you do. Just know that your Dad really appreciates it. He may not show it. But he does.

This is the only good reason I’ve heard for gull wing lids on a crossover box.

I too am a fan of the big single lid. My favorite setup is topside boxes inside a rack and an L tank with a chest in the bed for big stuff like pry bars, but you can’t pull goosenecks with topside boxes and a rack. A box in the bed, whether a crossover or not, is a compromise and not usually the most convenient one.

Today, I mounted my old Weather Guard crossover box in the new F350. I should probably order a Martin gooseneck service body, we’ll see,

It actually did show up the other day and we scooted the tank back and got it screwed down yesterday.


It appears to be uber.


I really like the fact that when you open the lid it is easy to reach into, no extra sidewall height like a traditional box.


Hopefully it's coon proof.

I just installed brighter bulbs on the garage/driveway. Motion light will be installed, thinking extension cord.....

Had a camera guy over but he wanted to look at the computer setup however the boss was at work so I told him lets check it out on a weekend.


It's all about the light.

Had a friend who lost a (locked) box when the thieves took a crowbar, and just pried the box (with bolts) through the bed rails of his truck
I've since installed an 1/8 th inch strap under the bed rails to prevent that - and used locking nuts (nyloks) also.

Just a thought, Sammo! smile

That's a nice box Sam. I hope it helps and you enjoy it. I've had gullwings too. I remember losing a Colt Lawman for awhile. I finally found it in one side of my gullwing box. A pard of mine was resting his 300 Win Mag on his and let fly. Hole in the gullwing. lol
