Narrow Tool Chest

I need a new tool chest to work with my sliding hitch, and standard bed. This new B&W is a big hitch, I need a chest that is about 16" wide, black powder coat. Who makes something that size?

    Not knowing where you're talking about mounting it but Tractor Supply had a tool box that mounts on the truck floor right behind the wheel well and tight to the side of the bed. The drawers pull out so you can access it with the trl hooked up.


    I was looking at mounting it behind the cab flush to the bed rail, that's what I have always had. My hitch platform extends beyond what I expected it to, a standard 20" wide box just won't fit. I will look at what you mentioned though, thanks for the suggestion.

  • Tractor Supply is a favorite of mine, I don't see anything listed that is under 20" wide. I would like something 16" wide at its widest point.
  • X2 on Tractor Supply. Lots of choices. Check their website - www.tsc.com I believe.
  • Check Tractor Supply Company also (if you have one where you live). And you might also check out companies like "Auto Outfitters" that specialize in customizing automobiles. (They put mud flaps on my new truck and ran the wiring for my bed shell).
  • check at lowes or one of the auto stores. Narrow ones are getting to be popular.
