Weather Guard 648 Underbed Truck Tool Box, 48 in Bright Aluminum, 8.6 cu ft (648-0-02)

The Weather Guard 648-0-02 stretches to 48" of lightweight aluminum, a long standard-depth underbed box with 8.6ft³ of locking storage. The welded diamond-plate body is 18" deep and rust-proof, a workhorse for longer tools, chains and a full service kit under a flatbed, platform or dump body, and the bright clear ARMOR TUF finish resists road salt. A weathertight drop-down door keeps gear dry, and the 48" length calls for a long clear run of rail. Mounting hardware is not included, so you can match it to your frame and its length.

What's Included:

• 648 Underbed aluminum diamond plate truck tool box, bright aluminum
• Drop-down door with stainless steel locking compression latch
• Three-point latching system with a drill-resistant lock core
• Two door support chains that hold the door as a work shelf
• Full-perimeter weather seal with rain gutter, pre-installed
• Weather Guard installation instructions
• Note: mounting brackets and hardware are not included, choose hardware to suit your frame or body

Features

Lightweight Aluminum Diamond Plate
The 648-0-02 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 8.6ft³ 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.

Installation

Type: Frame-rail mount below the deck, bolt-through (hardware not included)  ·  Time: About 1 to 2 hours  ·  Tools: Drill and bits, wrench or socket set, tape measure, marker, plus frame-appropriate mounting brackets and hardware (not included)  ·  Difficulty: Moderate, plan the mounting points and support the box while you bolt it up

Choose a clear spot on the frame rail below the deck with room for the door to drop open, then mount the box to the frame using brackets and hardware rated for the load (not included). Support the box while you fasten it, and seal any drilled holes with zinc-rich primer to prevent rust. Follow the Weather Guard Aluminum and Steel Underbed Boxes installation manual for hole layout and best practices. Because the box hangs below the deck, use hardware and brackets sized for the weight of the box plus its contents.
