It's a long shot, but I'm hoping somebody has already been down this path and can save me a bit of work.
I've got my tool box left over from my F350 long bed and I'm wondering if I can use it with this short bed. I've got a slider hitch, but not really sure that's enough. The tool box is about 20 inches from front to back and is about 4 inches above the bed rails.
I've only hooked the camper up to the truck once so far and that was when I was installing the slider hitch. Our driveway is not flat so I can only approximate how much clearance I have above the bed rails until I can hook up and go somewhere flat. At which point I have to be prepared to make whatever adjustments are necessary to set it up correctly.
I know that when backing the long bed, many fivers were very close to the tool box (backing/turning in an open field), so I'm thinking this is going to be a no-go.
Experiences are most appreciated.
