Need a different hole pattern or size? We make custom mounts. Contact us with your requirements.
Why steel instead of plastic
No cracking or warping: steel stands up to heavy loads and temperature swings, where plastic mounts can crack or warp.
Low profile: the 0.5-inch height keeps boxes tucked tight and saves space.
Paint it or weld it: the uncoated finish is made for custom colors or welding to a rack or frame.
No sacrificed toolbox lid: a dedicated steel plate replaces cutting up a spare box just to use the lid as a mount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Husky Build-Out boxes does it fit? Boxes with the red latch (clip-in) handles only. For all Husky Build-Out boxes and organizers, see the Locking Mounting Plate.
Can I use it on a wall? No. This plate is recommended for floor mounting only, rated 100 lb. For wall mounting, choose the Locking Mounting Plate, rated 75 lb on a wall and 150 lb on a floor.
Can I weld it? Yes. It ships uncoated, so you can weld it directly to a truck rack or trailer frame, or paint it to match your shop.
Why does it ship uncoated? So you can paint or weld it. To prevent surface oxidation, we recommend a quick coat of clear or colored paint when it arrives.
What do the pack options mean? A 2-pack is 2 plates, a 3-pack is 3 plates, and a 4-pack is 4 plates.
Is mounting hardware included? No. Mounting surfaces vary, so choosing the correct hardware for the installation is up to the end user or installer.

10-Gauge Mild Steel (0.1345" | A Little Over 1/8 Inch)
Best For: Our Heavy-Duty plates: vehicle floors, truck beds, shop workbenches, and heavy modular tool stacks.
The Advantage: Our stiffest steel. The extra thickness resists flexing, twisting, and rattling under heavy loads and daily job-site use, and it carries the highest load ratings we publish.
12-Gauge Mild Steel (0.1046" | About Two Stacked Dimes)
Best For: Locking mounts for Husky Build-Out, Bauer, and DEWALT DXL, plus service vans, enclosed trailers, and standard shop layouts.
The Advantage: A strong middle ground between strength and weight. It handles constant road vibration without adding unnecessary bulk to a mobile rig.
14-Gauge Mild Steel (0.0747" | About the Thickness of a Nickel)
Best For: Light-Duty Packout plates, battery organizers, accessory mounts, and lightweight shelf accessories.
The Advantage: A rigid, low-profile mount for lighter gear that keeps your layout clean and your weight down.
1/8-Inch Aluminum (0.125" | Light and Rust Resistant)
Best For: Open truck beds, roof racks, exterior trailer sides, and wet or salty environments.
The Advantage: Naturally rust resistant and about one third the weight of steel. It saves weight on a mobile rig and stands up to rain, snow, and road salt.
11-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel (About 0.125" | About 1/8 Inch)
Best For: Exposed truck bed brackets, marine use, premium shop builds, and wet or corrosive environments.
The Advantage: Strong, rigid 304 stainless that resists rust without paint or powder coat, even in road salt and harsh outdoor conditions. Available on select plates, made to order.
Note: Sheet metal gauge numbers run inversely. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more rigid the metal.
We fabricate our mounting solutions and accessories from mild steel, aluminum, and 304 stainless steel, built for harsh job-site environments. Choose the right finish for your build and review our care recommendations below.
Uncoated Steel (Paint Ready)
Overview: Shipped bare and untreated, straight from fabrication. Ideal for custom painting, powder coating, or welding into custom racks.
Appearance: May show light mill scale, surface scuffs, or minor flash rust on delivery, which is normal for uncoated steel.
Care & Maintenance: Uncoated steel will rust when exposed to moisture, humidity, or air. We strongly recommend cleaning and lightly sanding the surface, then applying paint, clear coat, or powder coat before installation.
Powder Coated
Overview: A durable, baked-on powder coat finish that protects the steel against wear, corrosion, and UV exposure. Powder coat is made to order.
Appearance: A smooth, uniform finish, textured black on most plates and red on select Packout plates, ready to install out of the box.
Care & Maintenance: Clean with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid solvents such as acetone or paint thinner, and avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can wear the coating. Touch up deep gouges or scratches promptly to protect the metal underneath.
Uncoated Aluminum
Overview: A lightweight, naturally rust-resistant option, about one third the weight of steel. Ideal for open truck beds, work vans, and marine or wet environments.
Appearance: Bare metal with a clean industrial look. Aluminum forms a thin protective oxide layer on its own. Light surface grain or manufacturing tool marks may be present.
Care & Maintenance: Wash with automotive soap and water. Aluminum may dull or develop a light oxidation over time, which is normal. To restore the shine, use a standard aluminum polish.
Uncoated 304 Stainless Steel
Overview: Strong and highly rust resistant, for exposed truck beds, marine use, and wet or corrosive environments. Available on select plates, made to order.
Appearance: A clean, bare metal finish that needs no paint or coating.
Care & Maintenance: Low maintenance. Clean with soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner to remove grease, road grime, and fingerprints. Avoid steel wool and chlorine-based cleaners, which can mark or pit the surface.
What is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 (officially the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) is a California law. It requires businesses to warn California consumers if a product can expose them to chemicals that the State of California lists as causing cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
These warnings are required even when a chemical is present in very small amounts that may not pose a significant health risk.
California Proposition 65 Warning
⚠️ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. Products sold on this website can expose you to chemicals including lead, nickel, chromium (hexavalent compounds), titanium dioxide (airborne, unbound particles of respirable size), toluene, ethylbenzene, and formaldehyde, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
What our products are made from
Depending on the product, our items may include steel, aluminum, powder coat or paint (including spray paint), threadlocker, lithium grease, and plastics such as acrylic and acetal (Delrin). Metals and coatings can contain or release trace amounts of the chemicals above, especially during cutting, welding, sanding, or coating.
Why is this warning on my order?
BOCO Custom LLC ships products nationwide, so we include this warning to comply with California law. A Proposition 65 warning does not mean a product is unsafe or defective. It means a product may contain a trace amount of a listed chemical. We provide this information so you can make an informed purchase.
FAQ
What's the difference between metal types?
Mild Steel — our most common and go-to option: heavy, strong carbon steel that's affordable and versatile for heavy-duty applications (available in gauges like 10, 11, 12, 14).
Stainless Steel (like 304 or 316 grades): premium upgrade with excellent corrosion resistance — won't rust easily, even in wet, outdoor, or marine environments; durable with a shiny, attractive finish, but heavier and more expensive.
Aluminum (like 5052 alloy): lightweight (about 1/3 the weight of steel), naturally rust-resistant, easy to form, and great for weight-sensitive projects; excellent strength-to-weight ratio, ideal when you want no-rust performance without the heaviness of steel.
Which finish should I choose?
Raw Steel — bare metal, lowest cost, quickest; needs protection to prevent rust.
Powder Coat — durable textured black finish; excellent rust/chip resistance for long-term use.
Stainless and aluminum ship with natural mill finishes (no rust concern) and can be powder coated on request. Check product pages for exact availability by metal and gauge.
What do gauge numbers mean?
Gauge numbers measure the thickness of sheet steel. Lower numbers = thicker material. A higher gauge number means thinner steel.
How do I choose the right gauge for my project?
Choose thicker gauges (10 or 11) for heavy-duty strength, structural parts, or high-load applications. Example: Using the plate on a horizontal application such floor or dolly.
Choose thinner gauges (14) for lighter-weight parts, panels, or where cost matters more. Ideal for vertical applications suck as wall or bedside mount.
Why does gauge go backward (lower number = thicker)?
The gauge system originated from the number of draws needed to produce wire/sheet of that thickness. Fewer draws = thicker material = lower gauge number.

Worked great to attach the boxes to my bedslide
Worked great to attach the boxes to my bedslide. Well built. Friendly and helpful staff.
Have them floating over the edges to get more space utilization, added supports below to support.
Thank you for sharing your build with us and others who might be interested in the mounts - they will serve you well for many years to come.

Better than Packout
I was so excited when someone finally came out with mounting plates for the build-out system and I was so pleasantly surprised at the build quality and the machining accuracy of these mounting bases 10/10 would recommend or buy again
Hi Stephen, thank you so much for the 10/10 review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with the build quality and machining of the Husky Build-Out plates. We noticed the gap in the market for these too, so it’s great to know they’re hitting the mark for you. Thanks for the recommendation!
