How to Install Kobalt Truck Boxes

Kobalt manufactures truck boxes that can be installed into the bed of most trucks. Truck boxes allow for better organization of tools. Additionally, most models come with a lockable top, which adds security to the storage area. With the new Grip Rite system, there is only a minimal amount of drilling that needs to be done.
