Utility Box on CL

[TheThom]

I always hear people upset because they missed the find on utility boxes. I did a search and found this one Could be a cool platform to build from.

If I was still in Washington I would be all over it.

yes indeed. a rare short bed. at $350, you have a great starter platform.

I didn't get it and I'm not looking. Just hoping to help someone else out

If I ever go with another trailer I would strongly consider something like that.

As long as it isn't smashed in on the right side, that is a great price, about 1/2 of comparable ones that I've seen on CL in my area.

My local pick a part sells them for $225, but they are always long beds. Not to mention the steel ones are HEAVY. I saw a small fiberglass one for sale when I was out of town for work and would have bought it if it wasn't over 2,000 miles from my house.

I treasure my fiberglass shortie. I think you could take this metal one and strip down quite a bit of the load. First to go would be the rear bumper.

One on Pittsburgh craigslist.
I was thinking section it in the middle pull the sides in and mount it on my 116A2 military frame.
I could use the tall closet for a toilet or changing room.

Just an FYI... a neighbor that owns a plumbing service has had one for sale in his front yard for a year now came off one of his service trucks... asking $500 but I bet he'd deal? Let me know if you are interested... located in central TX.

There is one on the Montana Craigslist as well. Looks to be in good shape. $1000

Why aren't folks using aluminum or Stainless Steel tool boxes and stacking them such that they end up with the height and size exactly as they want?

I like the idea of one of these, but personally, I'm going to hold out for an aluminum or fiberglass one due to weight concerns.
The steel models are really heavy... I think someone weighed theirs at around 3000 lbs empty!

Because they are so costly. You can have 2K+ in them easy and only have 6 boxes. from there you still have to purchase material for a floor, tailgate, and front "wall". I've designed several this way in google sketchup cost has been what held me back.
