Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

[chief_Indy]

Does anyone have the Mar-K stepside tool chest? They are expensive but I can’t find a single picture of one in the truck. Other then being USA made and having the neat Chevy/gm logo I wanted to know if you liked it. It says the mounting should line up with bed strips in the wood bed. Seems like a slam dunk, I was also looking at weatherguard chests since they can flush mount at the very front of the bed and the jobox aluminum truck chest. Thanks for any input!

Nice to meet you also.

I'd buy one if I could afford it lol. I love it

Yikes, that's some coin.

I've got a Tractor Supply box in my fleetside and am very happy with it. Sits just below the bedrails, I drilled holes and used a piece of wood and the long bed bolts to bolt it down. The lid wasn't all the way closed here.

I just want to haul a few tools and misc items while I'm traveling/ car shows. I've considered the Mar-K one for my C10 fleetside and also just using an old metal Coleman cooler and painting it to match the truck and mounting it for storage. I've come across a few old coolers but they all have plastic on the bottoms and I could swear I've seen some that were all metal.

I have one like this for my C30 but it is big enough to climb inside and takes a lot of space. I'd like to mount a smaller version that is on risers so I can slide a sheet of wood under but yet still sit below rails

I have a Reading saddle box. Any longer wood or stock can slide under it.

I like it too....but a good fabricator could build a box with a truck tailgate for that $$$. I'm not a good fabricator but neither am I rich LoL.

I can't say much about the Mar-K box other than it looks very nice and appropriate for an old truck.

The Weatherguard boxes are very very nice usually and the Crescent boxes are pretty good too.

If I had the budget, I'd want to try out the Mar-K box. Unless it's just a work rig, then I'd chose a basic TSC box like @TotalyHucked has because they are very nice for the money.

Yeah, I think I paid ~$180 pre-Covid for this one. Since I still use the truck as a truck and have a tonneau on most of the time, I works great. And give much needed extra storage for a single cab

I realize that the way I worded it might have suggested that I think your truck is a beater work truck.

What I meant was that if I had a nice old truck, needed the storage space for luggage and car show cleaning supplies, and had the budget for the Mar-K box, I'd try it.

But if I was using the truck for much more than car shows or cruising, I'd go with the TSC box.

Haha no worries, I knew what ya meant. Completely agree, that was my same thought process

I know! That’s my problem, I want to see how it looks in the stepside before I pull the trigger. I will be using the truck for touring and trails so the nice big trunk is exactly what I’m looking for.

Yeah, I know what you mean, plus the other boxes are aluminum and totally weather proof without paint. But I am restoring a truck to use for trips so while it will be used for roadtrips and light off-roading it’s not going to be a beater. So I do want it to fill the space and be really functional

Brother I know! That’s why I want to see one in use before I pull the plug! But since it is made specifically for the stepside it should fill the space the best
