Small box suggestions? (for single cab pickup)

[gt eunuch]

I have an old Toyota pickup, standard cab and I am looking for a good way to store a few tools just in case. Planning on a small socket set with ratchet, extensions, a few wrenches, pair of water pump pliers, needle nose, dykes, screwdrivers, etc.

Behind the seat I already have a small hf bag with ratchet straps, pair of 6x9 speakers in boxes, stock bottle jack, and a few nescessary fluids for the old truck .

So GJ, whatcha got?

I have a standard cab S-10 that I bought for $1k 3 years ago. I don't know how I lived without my UWS bed box. Love the thing to death...

How much space do you have to work with behind the seat, or under it? (I'm assuming a bench seat here)

I will see if I can grab a pic of behind the seat. It is a bench, I do have some room under the seat, but storage could only about 3" high.

edit: quick jaunt through google, found this picture. I have exactly this much room behind my seats. If you can image a wedge shaped 6x9 speaker box fits perfectly on the floor behind the seat (about 7" deep, tapering up to the top which is about 4" deep)

Ammo can? Cheap, sturdy, comes in several sizes, and easy to find at your local Army/Navy surplus store.

I agree. Thats' what I use. But I'd recommend getting one of the newer polymer dry boxes. Just about any sporting goods store or gun shop should have them. Get the shorter versions, they sit under a seat better. The plastic dry boxes don't rattle or make as much noise when lose tools are on them. Those old steel ammon cans tend to make too much noise in a truck.

Also Plano, who makes polymer ammo boxes also makes small tool boxes. http://www.planomolding.com/toolboxes/toolbox-products-2/

What I do is have a 3/8 drive sockets/ratchet set seperately (both inches and metric in one). Then I put all the other stuff in the dry-box like selection of pliers, extention and adapters, 10 inch adjustable wrench, battery tools, 9-in-1 screwdriver, couple other screwdrivers, inspection mirror, magnetic pick-up tool, mini pry-bar, etc. I keep a 12 inch adjustable wrench by itself under a back seat, but I have a SuperCrew cab with back seats.
