I am being offered a Delta toolbox with working lock and keys for my
94 Ford Ranger. It is a smaller one and black plastic (it is not
currently being sold, it is a 2000 model). Is $50 a good price?

Also any advice for someone who knows nothing and is looking for a
toolbox for his new (to him) Ranger?

Thanks!!

Kevin

If it'll fit your truck, doesn't have holes in it, and it's the size you
like, $50 sounds like a good price. It all depends on what YOU want (go
ahead, be selfish!).
Good luck!

The only problem with plastic toolboxes is that they get saggy with age.
Seems that heat and weight work against them. I'd want to see it in the
truck, loaded, before I'd buy it. That way you'd know if it was too
stretched and saggy.

You can take a water hose and fill it up providing there's no holes, and
use the same hose to empty it. Keep in mind that one gallon is eight
pounds, so you guess how many gallons it takes.
