UWS 5th wheel truck tool boxes provide unbeatable storage and security for your items in the bed of your truck. Each box features a corrosion-resistant aluminum construction, a stainless steel locking system and a patented RigidCore foam-filled lid -- all to keep your equipment and valuables safe, well-organized and easily accessible whenever needed. This particular 5th wheel tool box is designed to be used when towing a 5th wheel trailer. It is built with a low profile to provide clearance for the 5th wheel trailer overhang. Each UWS truck tool box is constructed from extra-thick aluminum for increased structural strength. The tub is welded together into a single piece for weather resistance and to easily hold heavy tools and other items. The lid features our patented RigidCore foam-filled design, sandwiched between two aluminum plates. This greatly increases the strength of the lid and helps prevent bending and warping, making operation very smooth. The locking mechanism of the UWS 5th wheel tool box provides excellent security for your items, featuring stainless steel, key-operated paddle handles. Stainless steel construction supplies the locks with long-lasting corrosion resistance, and they feature an internal connecting rod that allows the lid to be opened from either side of the truck. For solid protection against the elements, the lid also has a MicroSeal gasket, blocking moisture, dust and insects from getting inside and damaging your valuables. The lid also opens a full 90 degrees for easier access, and it is equipped with self-opening struts for convenient operation when your hands are full. UWS truck tool boxes are available in multiple sizes to accommodate any storage need. Like all UWS products, each one is proudly assembled right here in the USA for style and long-lasting dependability (NOTE: This product is heavily packaged for parcel shipping).
UWS designs and builds heavy-duty truck tool boxes and storage for tradespeople and truck owners. The line covers crossover and side-mount boxes, chest boxes, underbody boxes, transfer tanks and dog boxes. Every aluminum box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, with construction aimed at job-site abuse, road vibration and daily use.
UWS is a leading manufacturer and designer of truck tool boxes and truck accessories, and a Lippert brand. The company's focus is narrow and deliberate: storage that stands up to being opened and slammed shut dozens of times a day, loaded past what looks reasonable, and left outdoors in whatever weather the job brings. Its customers are electricians, plumbers, contractors, farmers, outdoorsmen and truck owners who treat a pickup as a working tool rather than transport.
The catalog covers the full range of bed storage. Crossover boxes sit across the bed behind the cab in single-lid, gull-wing, secure-lock and low-profile styles, so there is a fit whether the priority is capacity, rear visibility or working under a tonneau. Side-mount boxes mount along the bed rails and keep the bed floor free for cargo, while underbody boxes tuck beneath the frame rails of service bodies and flatbeds.
Beyond the bed, UWS makes portable chest boxes that move between vehicles and the shop, transfer tanks and combination tank-and-toolbox units for crews working away from fuel supply, and insulated, ventilated dog boxes for hunters and handlers.
Manufacturing sits at the centre of the brand's identity. Every UWS aluminum tool box is designed, fabricated and welded in Perry, Florida, by tradespeople with decades of experience, and the company's Rooted in Trades initiative is built around that connection to skilled manual work. Boxes use heavy-gauge aluminum, continuous welds at the seams, weather stripping to seal against rain and dust, and locking systems intended to resist tampering. The practical result is storage that keeps tools dry, organized and where they were left.

The package includes one utility chest box and two keys. A mounting hardware kit may or may not be included depending on the model. If the mounting hardware kit is not included, you will need to purchase your own hardware: two 5/16" or M8 bolts, four washers, and two lock nuts.
The manual does not specify which truck models, years, makes or bed types are compatible. Before purchasing, consult your dealer or the manufacturer to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle. The installation requires two mounting points aligned with the raised ribs in your truck bed.
If your truck has a plastic drop-in bed liner, it may need to be trimmed or cut for proper attachment of the chest box. The manual does not provide specific trimming instructions, so consult your dealer for guidance on your particular bed liner type.
You will need: a drill, 11/32" drill bit, 1/2" drill bit, ratchet, socket set, and tape measure. If you are using the optional mounting hardware kit #003-CBOXMK, follow the instructions included with that kit.
You will need two 5/16" or M8 bolts, four washers, and two lock nuts. Alternatively, if you purchase the mounting hardware kit #003-CBOXMK, follow the instructions included with that kit, which requires enlarging the truck bed holes to 1/2".
Before drilling, check under your vehicle to ensure the drill location does not puncture, cut or obstruct any brake or fuel fluid lines, electrical wires, fuel tanks, or other components. Take precaution that all fasteners near the fuel tank do not create the possibility of fuel tank puncture or other damage during a collision.
Place the chest box in your desired location and select two mounting points in the bottom of the chest box that are aligned with the raised ribs in your truck bed. Check that the lid operates properly before drilling.
Use an 11/32" drill bit to drill through the chest box and truck bed. If you are using the mounting hardware kit #003-CBOXMK, enlarge the holes in the truck bed with a 1/2" drill bit and follow the instructions included with that kit.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill through the chest box and truck bed using an 11/32" drill bit to create mounting holes for the fasteners.
Yes. Treat or seal all fasteners and exposed metal in any holes drilled in your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Use a silicone-type caulk as needed to fill in any open areas around the bolt flat washer or bonded washer inside the chest box to prevent water from seeping in.
The recommended torque for 5/16" bolts is 7 ft-lbs. These are general guidelines; if you purchase hardware separately, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
The recommended torque for M8 bolts is 7 ft-lbs. These are general guidelines; if you purchase hardware separately, use the torque specifications provided with that hardware.
After installing the bolts, washers and lock nuts, tighten all fasteners to the recommended torque values: 5/16" or M8 bolts to 7 ft-lbs. Use a ratchet and socket set to apply the correct torque.
The chest box comes with adjustable strikers. If the strikers are ever out of alignment, simply loosen, adjust, and re-tighten them to ensure proper lid closure.
Do not use this product for storing or transporting flammables, explosives, hazardous materials or hazardous waste, such as containers of gasoline, solvents, gun powder, dynamite, propane tanks, acetylene tanks and cutting torches. Danger of explosion.
Never exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommended capacity. The manual does not specify the chest box's weight capacity; consult your vehicle's owner manual or the manufacturer for this information.

No. Do not interfere with factory-installed safety equipment. Ensure the chest box is positioned and installed so that it does not obstruct or damage any factory safety systems.
Ensure all knobs, bolts, screws, straps and locks are firmly secured. Check that the lid operates properly. Periodically re-tighten and inspect all components for signs of wear, corrosion and fatigue. Perform periodic inspections to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight.
Periodically lubricate the strikers and locks to ensure optimum performance. For polished, gloss and other smooth finishes, polish may be used to clear small scratches and scuffs. Mild automotive detergent may be used to clean the product. Do not use dish detergent, abrasive cleaners, abrasive pads, wire brushes or other similar products that may damage the finish.
