{"product_id":"uws-36-in-truck-side-tool-box-gloss-black-aluminum-tbsm-36-blk","title":"UWS 36\" Truck Side Tool Box, Gloss Black Aluminum (TBSM-36-BLK)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe UWS 36\" truck side tool box bolts to the inside wall of the bed and gets your tools up off the floor. The bed stays clear for sheet goods, a pallet or a dirt bike, and the box is still there when you need a 3\/8\" drive. It measures 37\" long, 12\" wide and 12\" tall overall over a 36\" x 7\" x 6.5\" tub, giving 2.2ft³ of lockable, weather-sealed storage. The tub is formed from a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum and the lid carries the patented RigidCore foam-filled core, so a lid this long does not flex when you lean on it or bind after a couple of winters. It is secured by two stainless steel paddle lock handles, sealed with the MicroSeal gasket and finished in gloss black powder coat. Two mounting legs and two keys are in the carton; the bolts are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 36\" truck side tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 mounting legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUWS Truck Side Tool Box Tour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tour of a UWS truck side box mounted inside the bed wall: the welded one-piece aluminum tub, the patented foam-filled lid, the MicroSeal weather stripping, and the multi-fit brackets and hardware that come in the carton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box on camera is the low-profile version, chosen for the film because it shows off the better rear view a shallow box gives you from the cab.

That is what stops a long lid from flexing when someone stands on it and what keeps it from twisting out of shape and binding against the tub, which is the way most truck boxes eventually fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne-Piece 0.058\" Aluminum Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub is formed from a single sheet of extra-thick aluminum, so there is no welded seam along the bottom of the box for water to find.

Check three things before you order. First, the bed wall needs a clear straight run of at least 37\". Second, the box hangs 12\" into the bed and stands 12\" tall, so confirm that clears your wheel well and anything else already mounted. Third, if you run a tonneau or a cap, check its rail and bow height against the 12\" box height. Mounting hardware is not included and the legs mount on either side, so the same box works on the driver or passenger side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\" Truck Side Tool Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUWS Part Number:\u003c\/b\u003e TBSM-36-BLK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Truck side box, mounts inside the bed wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Aluminum, 0.058\" one-piece tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.2ft³\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 37\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOverall Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTub Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLid:\u003c\/b\u003e Single lid, RigidCore foam-filled, self-opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLatch:\u003c\/b\u003e Paddle Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProfile:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGasket:\u003c\/b\u003e MicroSeal full-perimeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 18.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 22 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 672078016223\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/b\u003e Limited Lifetime Warranty (One-Year Finish, One-Year Parts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAssembled In:\u003c\/b\u003e Florida, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Bolts to the inside wall of the truck bed using the two included legs  ·  \u003cb\u003eTime:\u003c\/b\u003e About 45 minutes to 1 hour  ·  \u003cb\u003eTools:\u003c\/b\u003e Drill and bit set, ratchet and socket set, tape measure, level, marker  ·  \u003cb\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/b\u003e Easy, DIY-friendly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two legs ship with the box, but UWS does not include the bolts, because the right fastener depends on whether you are going through the bed wall, into a stake pocket or into a flatbed rail. Plan on buying your own hardware. Set the box on the rail, level it, mark through the legs, and check underneath before you drill: bed walls have wiring and fuel lines behind them in places.

The aluminum boxes in this line are designed, fabricated and welded in Florida rather than assembled from imported panels, and the tub is formed from one piece of extra-thick aluminum so there is no seam along the floor of the box for water to work its way into. UWS is part of the CURT Group, a Lippert company, which is what puts a national warranty and a real replacement-parts program behind a box that is still built in a single plant. Handles, gas struts, lid gaskets, striker brackets and keys are all cataloged parts you can buy years later, which is the practical difference between a box you repair and a box you replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA side box earns its place by not costing you the bed. This one gives up 12\" of width along one wall and leaves the floor and the rest of the bed completely open, which is why service techs, welders and framers often run a pair instead of a crossover. The lid self-opens to 90 degrees and holds there on gas struts, so you can work out of the box with both hands. UWS backs it with a limited lifetime warranty on workmanship and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new and in the factory carton, covered by the full UWS factory warranty, and backed by the UWS replacement-parts program if a handle, strut, gasket or key ever needs renewing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935976698100,"sku":"UWSTBSM-36-BLK","price":550.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-tbsm-36-blk-hero-front-three-quarter-studio-view-on-white.webp?v=1785305054","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-36-in-truck-side-tool-box-gloss-black-aluminum-tbsm-36-blk","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
