BackgroundThe sponsor, BishTec, had previously designed and
built several low-profile toolboxes that would fit in
the back of pickup trucks. The original toolboxes
had almost no organizational system and was very
susceptible to rust.
ObjectiveThe purpose of our project was to redesign a
truck bed toolbox. The sponsor and customer
required that the toolbox have intuitive tool
organization, resist corrosion, and cost less
than the current box and drawers.
