hilux chipbox

ok I am going to build a chip box for my truck but not sure what is the best options. Was thinking of making a frame out of aluminium angle and 3mm ally plate hinged in three places on the side and two removable tie bars front and rear that could be used to secure ladders to.... Or should I make the front and two sides out of marine plywood on a steel frame and paint it,?

 

At the moment it has a stock top on should I get a load handler and leave it at that maybe make something for the cab roof to put tools in when full of chip?

 

Your thoughts, suggestions and any photos would be greatly appreciated.

Me and a good friend of mine made plans for a none tipping body to fit a hilux crew cab a few year back . This basically was both sides of the body being hinged up and the rear door came off completely . Enabling easy removal of the chip from both sides . This is how we still operate when moving chip off our 2 ton trailer :biggrin:
