Default Swing away rear bed storage box.

Nice idea, cant seem to find dimensions r fit guide.
Are they really designed for the 5.5’ beds?

The bed length doesn't matter because the length of the bed behind the wheel well is the same. Mine (from Ford) has a different hanger setup from the one from Swingaway that I have on my F-250. Look on the website for Swingaway and you should find the exact thing you need. BTW, no drilling, it mounts using the Quick Link holes and existing holes near the tailgate. Very handy item. I can't vouch for it's rain resistance since I have mine under a cap.

As stated, they fit any size bed. I've got both sides in my 5.5' bed and love them.

Installation was pretty easy, though you do need to remove the taillight housings to access the bolt holes. Even so, pretty easy.



This is a pic of the load board I made, but you can see the boxes in my bed.
