A friend of mine recently bought a new Nissan truck
He build a tool box out of wood years ago but he figured out that it's too little for the new one and he always has to secure it with straps before to tilt the truck bed
He would like something with those dimensions
1,80 meters wide,60x60 deep (side and high )
About the frame isn't an issue because essentially is a rectangular base and square sides
I have to figure out how to put hinges , locking mechanism,and how secure it on the truck bed
Another thing I'm not very sure about the sheet metal thickness because ,it needs to be strong enough to survive the abuses in the years but it has also to be relatively light weight and another objective I have to achieve is to keep the budget as low as possible
I have some rectangular tubing 30x100x2.5mm (6 meters bars)
Any idea is useful
Thank you for your help
