- Written, Step-by-Step Instructions for Measuring Your Truck Bed for a Tool Box or Transfer Tank
- Step 1: Start by Measuring the Exterior Bed Rail Width — From A to B
- Step 2: Measure the Interior Wheel Well Rail Width — From C to D
- Step 3: For Transfer Tank Fitment, Measure the Wheel Well Width — From E to F
- Step 4: Measure the Vertical Bed Depth — From G to H
- Step 5: Measure the Length from the Forward Bulkhead to the Wheel Well Hump — From I to K
- Step 6: For Towing Applications, Measure the Length from the Forward Bulkhead to Tow Hitch — From I to J (Optional)
- Finally, You're Ready to Make Your Purchase & Install Your Truck Bed Tool Box or Transfer Tank
Step 1: Make sure the top of the tool box is not too small. The tool box
lid must sit at least 1.5" on each bed rail.
To get this measurement, subtract the tool box lid length from the interior bed rail width.
In the example above: 72.875" – 65" = 7.875".
The final number should be at least 3" or greater, or the tool box will not fit properly. In this
example, the final number is 7.875" so the tool box will fit.
Step 2: Make sure the interior bed rail width is greater than the tool
box body width.
In this example, the interior bed rail width measured 65" and the tool box body length
measured 62".
In this example: 65" – 62" = 3".
The tool box body length should be at least 2" smaller than the interior bed rail width. In this
example, the tool box will fit.
Step 3. Make sure the vertical bed depth is greater than the tool box
body depth.
In this example, the vertical bed depth measured 19.25" and the tool box body depth measured
11.75".
In this example: 19.25" – 11.75" = 7.5".
The vertical bed depth should be at least 1"– 2" greater than the toox box bed depth. In this
example, the tool box will fit.
