Tool Box

Anybody know of vendor that makes custom truck bed tool boxes, thinking I want one that serves 3 purposes,
1) 40-50 gallons fuel to supplement existing
2) 15 +/- gallons H2O for cooling mist system
3) small variety of emergency tools supplies etc.

Thanks

Personally, I'd just check with some metal fab shops that were local. That thing ain't gonna be cheap, I can tell you that.

Can probably make anything you need like YOU need it, not what would be CLOSE to what you need.

I see somebody hasn't updated their web picture with latest projects....

No, but aluminum is the ideal material for what he wants to do.

Wow....he wore a costume made of fiberglass for over 30 years? That must have been a HECK of a Party!

Sorry... I couldn't resist, some Typos are just too good to let slide by Mine usually just make me look dumb as a brick, I love when they are funny instead like this one
