The Weather Guard 627-0-02 is the compact 24" underbed box in lightweight aluminum, for adding locking storage to the frame rail without steel's weight. The welded diamond-plate body is 18" deep and holds 4.3ft³ behind a weathertight drop-down door, a right-sized spot for chains, straps or a service kit on a flatbed, platform or dump body. Aluminum resists rust and road salt and the bright clear ARMOR TUF finish cleans up fast, while the short 24" footprint leaves rail for a second box or tank. Mounting hardware is not included, so you can match it to your frame.

Features
Lightweight Aluminum Diamond Plate The 627-0-02 is formed from welded aluminum diamond plate, so it adds locking underbody storage without the weight of steel. Aluminum naturally resists rust and corrosion, which matters for a box that lives down near the road spray and salt.
Clear ARMOR TUF Diamond Plate A clear ARMOR TUF powder coat covers the aluminum diamond plate to fight corrosion, chips and fading and give the box a classic bright diamond-plate look. ARMOR TUF is Weather Guard's toughest coating, made to survive the salt, chemicals and weather an underbody box faces.
Weathertight Drop-Down Door A full drop-down door drops open on two support chains that hold it level as a handy work shelf, then closes against a rain gutter and full-perimeter weather seal. Your tools stay dry and protected from road spray, dust and debris in the 4.3ft³ interior.
Stainless Locking Latch, Three-Point Latching A stainless steel locking compression latch drives a three-point latching system with a drill-resistant lock core, so gear stays secure and the door pulls tight against the seal. The latch is easy to work even with gloves on.
Tool-Less QuickClip Door The drop door adjusts from 90 to 180 degrees and pops off with QuickClips, no tools required, so you can drop it flat, use it as a loading shelf, or remove it entirely for full access and clip it back on in seconds.
Mounts Under the Deck, Frees Your Truck The standard 18" deep body mounts on the frame rail below a flatbed, platform, service or dump body, so heavy tools and equipment ride secure and out of the way while your deck or bed stays open. It is the way to add locking storage to a truck with no usable bed floor. Mounting hardware is not included so you can match it to your frame.
Gloved-Hand D-Handle and a Wide Door Opening The drop door opens wide, so long tools and cases go in from the side of the deck instead of being lifted over a lip. Weather Guard fits a stainless steel D-handle that is easy to grip with gloves on and pulls the door tight against the seal, and the door itself drops level on its chains to work as a shelf.
Fitment & Compatibility
Application
Fit
Flatbed, platform, stake and dump truck bodies
✓ Yes, mounts under the deck on the frame rail
Service and utility body trucks, enclosed trailers
✓ Yes, where frame-rail space and door clearance allow
Under a full-size pickup bed on the frame rail
✓ Yes, if there is room on the frame and clearance for the door to drop
Standard use inside a pickup bed
✗ No, this box mounts below the bed on the frame, not on the bed floor
Fit guidance: Underbed boxes mount on the truck frame rail below the deck of a flatbed, platform, service or dump body, or under a pickup bed where there is frame space. Fit is by available space and mounting, not by year, make and model. This box is 24" long and 18" deep, and the drop door needs room to swing down below it. Always measure the clear length along your frame rail and the drop clearance before ordering. Mounting brackets and hardware are not included, so plan to supply frame-appropriate mounting hardware.

Follow the Weather Guard Aluminum and Steel Underbed Boxes installation manual for hole layout and best practices.

Best Upgrade for Your Truck

Watch it if you are still deciding how much storage a truck actually needs. It is the clearest short look at how Weather Guard boxes, racks and drawer units are meant to work together on one vehicle, and it comes straight from the manufacturer rather than a reseller.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Where and how does this box mount?
It bolts to the frame rail below the deck of a flatbed, platform, service or dump body, or under a pickup bed where there is frame space. At just 24" long it slots into tight runs of rail. Mounting brackets and hardware are not included, so choose hardware rated for the box plus its contents.
Will it fit my truck?
Fit is by frame-rail space, not year, make and model. The 627-0-02 needs about 24" of clear rail and 18" of depth, plus room below for the drop door. Measure the clear length along your rail and the drop clearance before ordering.
How much does it weigh and will it corrode?
It is built from welded aluminum diamond plate and weighs only about 35 lb, much lighter than a comparable steel box, which is easier on your frame and payload. Aluminum naturally resists rust, an advantage for a box that lives down near road spray and salt, and it stays secure with a drill-resistant locking latch.
What is the bright aluminum finish like?
The aluminum diamond plate wears a clear ARMOR TUF coat that shows the bright tread pattern while sealing out corrosion. It cleans up fast and gives a classic work-truck look that holds up to road salt.
How does the door work and is it weathertight?
A single drop-down door lowers on two support chains to sit level as a work shelf, closes against a rain gutter and full-perimeter seal, and locks with a stainless compression latch and three-point latching. The 4.3ft³ interior stays dry and secure, a good size for chains, straps and a compact service kit.
Is it made in the USA and under warranty?
Yes. The 627-0-02 is made in the USA and backed by a Weather Guard Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.
