Title: T-Style aluminum dog box. (Who owns one)
Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on December 30, 2012, 12:34:50 am
Just curious who has one of these and what brand you went with along with price.
Also would like to see an actual pic of it in your truck. And pluses and minuses that come with it.

Thanks.

I'll start off by sayin that  I only have one dog and it  rides with me in my tahoe , so i cant tell you about how great the box works for dogs. I also don't know the name of the company that made the box .

I bought my box from an ex-duck hunter / feild trail guy at my job and  he used it for his labs.He had it in a 2003 gmc truck ... I believe it was. He liked the box but he got out of workng dogs and into show dogs (weirdo guy) The box has an adjustable fan in it and also a light that turns on when the tool box is opened . There is air vents on the opposite side  of the doors that open and close but I still don't think I'd risk having a dog in there long during a summer day....

It works great for me in that I have somewhere to put ropes , rachet straps , car jack and other things to get me out of a bad situation.

I wish I couldve been more help but here's some pictures

Good looking box also Chris.

Have been wanting a new box for several years and this design keeps catching my eye due to storage space. 
I know its gonna be mind boggling on price but have had the same box for 17 yrs soooo it may be perty cheap if payed out. Lol.

I have couple trailer rigs but a good box always ends up being worth the while. I have only seen one in person and that was a custom builder that shows at Uncle Earls and is from Florida.  He is always sold out of these and to dang high in gas and freight to ship me one.

Was hoping someone knew of a dealer in the Texas or Louisiana area.

Valley Creek should be able to order anything that you want. I have never owned one like that but I would recommend either a Diamond Deluxe or an Owens box.

May be to far to drive but F&F custom boats in monticello AR can build u any box u want. Show them a pic or whatever and give the deminsions and specifics of what u want and they build it. I know a man that had a dog trailer and dog boxes built for his truck. He said he had bought all brands of boxes over the years and theirs were built to last far better than any he had bought. He said they brace their stuff very well.

As I said may or may not be to far. Just an option.

Well thanks to Bar R

I found this exact box at Diamond Deluxe.  Looks like the tag will be around $1500.00 shipped.  Aghhhhh.

But if payed out for 17 years ......the life span of my current one.. should be around $7 bucks a month.  Haha

WTH...its only money right! :o

You cant take it with you when you go! :D
I have a regular top storage Diamond Deluxe and have been very pleased with it. I have a friend that has the same box that is in the picture that you posted and it has tons of storage space. His has a drain plug in the bottom of the right storage box so that it can be used as an ice chest. The only thing that I dont like about them is that it takes more than one person to load them. If you leave it in your truck all the time then it would be perfect.

Still looking around for one and still considering this type.

Anyone else got one since I posted this last.

If so....do show and tell. If something similar.....let's see it also.

Enjoy
