Stainless steel truck parts & accessories

There are many stainless steel truck accessories available in the market now. Whether you want to give your truck some added luster, make it more functional, or a little bit of both, there is sure to be a truck accessory out there that you can use. Here is an overview of some of the more popular stainless steel truck accessories.

Tool boxes

These stainless steel truck accessories are widely available and highly recommended if you have a profession that requires you to take around a large number of tools. Instead of having individual tools or a smaller toolbox cluttered about in the truck bed, designers have created toolboxes that bolt onto the sidewalls of the truck bed. These stainless steel truck accessories have allowed plumbers, carpenters, and construction workers to keep their tools organized. They also prevent accidents such as tools falling out when opening the truck bed.

The box of this accessory is generally prefabricated to the dimensions and specifications of the truck, ensuring a snug fit between bolt and sidewall. Lids can be placed horizontally or vertically. Latches for locks, or in some cases locks built right into the accessory, are standard features to prevent theft. In some cases, the toolboxes come complete with drawers and compartments that slide out, allowing for customization. The best toolboxes are lined with foam or a similar soft material to prevent the tools from banging onto one another, potentially damaging them. The price for these stainless steel truck accessories starts at $800 to over $1,000, depending on the model of the toolbox.

Tool racks

Instead of having a large toolbox bolted to their truck bed, some owners prefer having tool racks. This is particularly recommended for people with professions that require tool belts like plumbers and carpenters. These tool belts can then be fastened around the bars of the rack, preventing it from slipping and falling. Some models are actually more like a wire cage made of stainless steel to keep the tools safe. This variety of tool rack often comes with belts to batten down the tools and double as a luggage carrier if necessary. Finally, these stainless steel truck accessories can be powder-finished in a variety of colors to match the color of your truck. Tool racks cost around $200.

Nerf bars

Sometimes getting into a truck can be difficult, so steel fabricators have made these handy stainless steel truck accessories called nerf bars to give people a boost. These stainless steel truck accessories are long pieces of steel, sometimes with rubber padding added in front of the truck doors, to give you more traction when entering the truck. This accessory can either be bolted onto the truck or welded on, and as an added feature, it can be coated in chrome to give the truck more flair. Nerf bars have a starting price tag of about $173.
