Don, or someone, please explain what a cross box is and what a cruise box is.
Thanks,
Lynn
A cross box is the box that fits across the bed of a pickup. Usually right
behind the cab. Some have a single lid all across the top and some have a
lid at both ends as mine does. It is a big one I recently picked up from
someone who no longer has a pickup. It will fit 6 milk cartons.
A cruise box is also known as a job site box. These are the huge boxes we
used to pack stuff into for loading onto the ship before heading out. The
box I have is 4 feet long 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. It came from an
alarm installation company that went out of business. It is on wheels that
raise it up about 6 inches. I have a 3/8 in. stainless steel cable bolted
to the underside that loops through the pickup bed tiedowns under the cross
box.Straps keep it tight against the tail gate and the space between the
box and cross box is used for storage of things that can get wet.
