hdfx81 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The front fuel tanks strap bracket on the passenger side broke and I want to change out the fuel tank with a tool box(don't need two 120 gal tanks on a tri axle dump). Has anyone done this, if so what size box was used? any pics would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Pete, kenworth, and freightliner each have there own style step/box. In my opinion a 379 Pete has the nicest and simplest style. It just hangs off the frame on 2 heavy angle iron peices, so it's easy to adjust where you need it. But they are a little $ just because of the name. sorry about the fence but the one on right is toolbox and left is battery box. I found the pair for $300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdfx81 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Is that 24" or 30" wide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) It's between 30"-31" wide depending where you measure. And it's 29" deep from the very back of the mounting flange to the very front of the bottom step. 15" tall The steps on my dads KW are bigger but he left already so I can't measure them. They are taller and wider. Edited April 21, 2016 by Hobert62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdfx81 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 That's the style box I'm looking at, Protech 24" wide, run about $560 dollars plus brackets about another $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 24" seems kind small. These fit nice under my B cab. I just had to do a little trimming and make my own brackets. I wouldn't of had to but I wanted to suck them in close so the bottom step wouldn't stick way out past the front fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hobert 62,that's a great lookin' B! The toolbox looks equally good on the superliner! I've always liked the look of the big round tank with the step under the cab but don't like the thought of being "t boned" with all that fuel under me! Sanford eh? used to pu at a paper mill there. int.paper or Ga Pacific,I forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
