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.
