Drill Into Bed Floor - Mount Cargo Box

[wwalljr]

New Ram owner...Ford guy until now...

I have a poly toolbox I had screwed into the bed floor of my other truck. It’s 32x15 inch. I want to mount it in this truckbed close to front, 2 inches from bulkhead. Any concerns drilling into truck bed floor? I know the fuel tank is there. Can’t tell if a 1” screw would be a problem or not thru the bed floor in that area. Or is there a better idea to reuse this toolbox?

Not a bad idea. I might try this. I’ve always had it anchored to the floor so it doesn’t shift around while driving. It’s amazing the amount of stuff you can stored in this $70 box.
