Hi fellas, I am setting up a new shoeing rig and I would like to pic your brains for ideas or some photos for inspiration. I thought about doing a hard top and slide out but I honestly dont use enough gear to warrent using the entire box. Also considered a toneau cover (just a flat cover for the box). But what I am leaning towards is basically a toolbox that takes up the back half of the box. All I need to fit in it is my shoeing box. Anvil and forge plus room to hang tongs, storage for nails etc. Anyone run a setup like that? I only plan on using bar stock and making shoes on the spot so I dont need shoe racks etc. I know what I have to build really but more looking for photos of similar. Thank you! Kyle
My suggestion is make the box open from the side not the top. I have seen guys working out of a top opening box and it looks like a pain. They have to climb into the bed to unload then again every time they need something.
Here is version 1.0 I will probably work out the kinks with this and then make one out of aluminium. 3/4" birch ply with a bedliner shell. Pricetag for everything around $300 not including beer Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
Nice thing about doing yourself, is you can make exactly what you want a lot cheaper. Looks isn't everything, but being functional is.
