Replacing a Dee Zee truck box or identifying a used box? The location of the box in the bed, the lid style and the MPN help distinguish portable chests, crossovers and wheel-well boxes. Even models with similar exterior finishes can have different volumes, lock mechanisms and mounting requirements.
Identify the basic tool-box shape
Self-contained box selected mainly by storage volume, external size and how it will be secured in the truck.
Wide bed-front storage designed to span or sit near truck-bed rails. Verify bed width and mounting method.
Narrow, shaped boxes that occupy space beside a pickup's wheel housing; opening clearance is critical.
Match exact MPN, style and capacity
Use the listed capacity as a reference only; matching dimensions and attachment points is equally important.
| MPN | Style | Material | Capacity | Access |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6535P | Portable chest | Black plastic | 3.6 cu ft | Non-locking single lid |
| 6537P | Portable chest | Black plastic | 10.3 cu ft | Non-locking single lid |
| DZ6163P | Crossover | Black plastic | 5.4 cu ft | Lockable single lid |
| DZ6170P | Crossover | Black plastic | 6.2 cu ft | Lockable single lid |
| DZ6170N | Narrow crossover | Polished aluminum | 5.7 cu ft | Lockable lid; paddle handles |
| DZ6170NB | Narrow crossover | Black-coated aluminum | 5.7 cu ft | Lockable lid; paddle handles |
| DZ94B | Wheel-well box | Black-coated aluminum | 2.2 cu ft | Lockable, push-button lid |
| DZ95B | Wheel-well box | Black-coated aluminum | 2.2 cu ft | Lockable, push-button lid |
DZ6170N and DZ6170NB: 69¾ × 12 × 14¼ inches (L × W × H). DZ94B and DZ95B: 37 × 7¾ × 19½ inches. Confirm the installed truck, hinge-side and lid-opening clearances, not just these dimensions.
Check installation details before replacing a box
Record the MPN stamped on the box if available. Measure the full exterior length, width and height, then note whether the box sits across the bed rails, within the bed floor or beside a wheel housing. Check the lid, opening direction, locking mechanism and mounting condition. A similarly shaped replacement may interfere with a tonneau cover or bed rack.
The portable plastic boxes above have non-locking lids, whereas the crossover plastic and listed aluminum designs have lockable lids. Inspect the lid mechanism on the original, particularly if keys or replacement hardware are needed.
