I am looking at getting a cross bed toolbox for the bed of my truck. I have a 2001 ford f150 crew cab lariat so I have the shorter bed. I really like the tractor supply co toolbox. But i have a few quick questions first.

Is there a way that I can make it so that I can take my tool box in and out somewhat easily for when I need the full bed space, but at the Same time how can I keepi it from moving or getting stolen?

I also have a cb antenna that is currently mounted on the front side of the bed and that's where the toolbox would be goin so I planned on mounting it to the tool box. But is there any way I could leave the cb bracket that's there now there so I can put the antenna there when the tool box is not in the bed and buy another bracket for the tool box?

The tool boxes I am looking at are


Tractor Supply Co.® Full-Size Low-Profile Extra Deep Single Lid Tool Box, Black

Tractor Supply Co.® Full-size Single Lid Tool Box, Black

Tractor Supply Co.® FullSize Low Profile Single Lid Tread Aluminum Crossover Truck Box, Black


Im not sure which one I want yet. I think the extra deep one would be nice to allow for plenty of storage room but will that fit or will the wheel wells be in the way?

Thanks for the help

Idk about tractor supply but my UWS box just bolts on with some j hooks that slip under the rail and comes off in about 30 seconds

 

I use self tapping screws. 3 on each side. Holds it perfectly fine. Takes no time to remove them.

 

Thank you guys. Do you know if the extra deep one will fit ?

 

Im 99% sure it will. Just measure everything

 

Ok I will do. Do you have the deep box? Or a low profile toolbox

 

Couple year old picture before that Chevy was lifted lol. But it's the only pic I have of my toolbox. Now days its rarely on my KR

 

I like using the J hooks because you don't have to drill into your bed and they come off very easy

 

I have a Better Built ultra low profile tool box in mine, I prefer the look of it to the deeper tool boxes.

And it's held in with the j hooks. I just wouldn't want to drill holes in my truck.

 

It won't fit sorry man mine barely fits
