Seeking advice on toolbox for Super Duty

[pigwot]

Just bought a stake bed dump Super Duty. It has a fairly standard bed/headboard on it (7' 7" x 12').
I'm looking to rebuild it so I can put an L-shaped, cross box behind the cab and build a removable chip box, too .
It'd be nice to have a small rig for small jobs with all ropes and tools already
on the truck. I see them sold by Arbortech and Southco for larger trucks.
Does anyone have experience installing one on a smaller truck? -anyone have
a box for sale? any advice would be appreciated. Here's a pic of the
1990 SuperDuty with 75k miles on it and a nice Kruger bed:

RED= Tool boxes. I would go with an I-Pack and then a 48" underneath that way you have more room then a L-Pack.
BLUE= Solid sides ?welded? to the bed.
YELLOW= removeable chip box made out of plywood or aluminum.

Boxes for a ton truck.

Pretty easy to cut the front off the bed and weld a cap over it. Might have to move the hoist back and maybe relocate the pump. Ive done a couple using the knapheide boxes.

Nice looking truck! She should be a good worker. I have always been impressed with the quality of UWS boxes. They will custom make them also if you want to do something different. http://www.uwsta.com

We have a 1992 ford super duty with an arbortech dump, it came with a rope locker, through box, saw locker, gas and oil locker, and a removable hood for chipping. This truck has been overworked since day one, the only problems have been due to operator error.(improper starting of the deisel, taking off in second gear etc...) Great truck, good luck, let me know if you want more info on the box(or pictures) let me know.
