Peterbilt 367 Tool & Battery Boxes

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Tool & Battery Boxes

Will a tool or battery box made for the Peterbilt 367 fit my truck without modification?

Most boxes in this category are designed to match the Peterbilt 367's frame width and step or fuel tank configuration, but fitment can vary depending on your truck's specific chassis setup, frame rail spacing, and whether you have single or dual fuel tanks. Always check the product's listed specifications and measure your available mounting space before ordering to avoid the need for extra brackets or drilling.

What materials are these tool and battery boxes made from, and how do they hold up over time?

Tool and battery boxes are commonly available in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. Aluminum options are lightweight and naturally resist rust, steel offers a heavier-duty feel at a lower cost, and stainless steel provides the most polished look with strong corrosion resistance. Each material will react differently to road salt, moisture, and daily wear, so choosing the right one often comes down to your climate, budget, and desired appearance.

Are these boxes designed to hold tools, batteries, or both?

It depends on the specific product. Some boxes are built specifically to house batteries with the proper venting and mounting hardware for that purpose, while others are general-purpose tool boxes meant for storage only. Check the product title and description carefully, since using a tool box for battery storage (or vice versa) may not provide the correct ventilation or support.

What kind of hardware or mounting brackets are included, and is installation straightforward?

Most boxes ship with the mounting brackets and hardware needed for a standard installation, but some may require additional brackets sold separately depending on how your truck is set up. Installation typically involves bolting the box to your frame rail or step area, so having basic hand tools on hand and a second person to help hold the box in place during mounting is recommended.

How do I keep my tool or battery box looking good and functioning properly?

Regularly rinsing off road salt, dirt, and grime will help extend the life of any tool or battery box, regardless of material. For polished aluminum or stainless steel finishes, periodic polishing will help maintain shine and prevent oxidation. If your box houses a battery, periodically check that vents remain clear and that mounting hardware stays tight from road vibration.
