Bed tool box

Looking for a tool box to mount in bed for my dads 2003 tacoma. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 

If it’s a Flare Side, I’ll be watching the replies also.

............But it’s probably not.

 

Just got one from Lowe’s that I like a lot. Terrible lighting, only picture I have so far.

 

Side angle

 

Check your local Craigslist. Those things are always popping up for super cheap.

 

I got mine from Lowes.. CRAFTSMAN 61.5-in x 20-in x 13-in Matte Black Aluminum Compact Truck Tool Box Item # 1053451 Model # CMXTBAD73217204. I love it. Keeps all my stuff dry and haven't seen a ton of dust in it either meaning it seals fairly well.

 

Thank you. I think Lowe’s it is. I found a new huskey one local on marketplace, but it is for 2004 tacoma.i don’t want to buy and have it not fit. Appreciate it guys!

 

95-04 is the same bed, no worries about it fitting

 

I thought 2003 was last year of first gen? 2004 started 2nd gen, 2016 3rd.

 

1995.5 first year for first gen Tacoma.
2005 was first year for 2nd Gen.
2016 3rd

 

they started "building" them in 2004 but they were released as the 2005 model (also, the forum is called 95.5-04 )

 

My confusion comes from the label on a husky tool box. Stated for tacoma 2004 and newer...I now know that was a mistake. Looks like almost any 61.5” wide one will work. I am going to look at one for sale on FB Marketplace but may possibly buy one from Lowes.

 

Get out the tape measure.

I bought a Delta toolbox used for $100 and sold it years later for the same.

 

"Almost" being the key word here. I just went through trying to find one for my '01 DC - bought this one from Home Depot without measuring, and the step-down lower part would not fit between the wheel wells: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-6...rossbed-Truck-Tool-Box-102102-53-01/308793064

Returned it and purchased this angled one from Lowe's and it did fit: https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-...ck-Aluminum-Compact-Truck-Tool-Box/1000579207

 

This is very helpful, I truly appreciate the feedback!

 

I have the same one. Love it!

 

Same same.

The listing of the Husky claims it fits 04-17 Tacoma, but the tape measure said otherwise. I assume the double cab just takes up too much room between the cab and the wheel wells. I got the wedged Craftsman instead.

Oops. Sorry for hitting this old thread. It still feels like 2020 to me, and I got confused.
