Help Me Identify This Toolbox

Hey everyone!

So, my truck has some weird toolboxes / storage boxes on the side of the bed. Now, I imagine that this was someone's idea of utilizing storage in front of the wheel wells when a truck camper is in the bed. I have a truck camper that we haul in our F250 and I have actually contemplated something like this in order to access that storage area or to possibly install extra batteries for the camper. I never went through with it though as I didn't want to cut up my nice shiny bed side.

Is this something that was maybe offered aftermarket at some point in the 60's, 70's, or 80's? It does seem like something that was designed around a truck camper as the tool boxes don't stick out past the wheel wells. It seems like someone spent a lot of time and thought into setting this up. Also, I found a fuel valve under the passenger seat that had "Main" on a sticker on the floor. I am guessing that maybe there were saddle tanks on it? Can anyone offer up any ideas as to what this setup is?

I have never seen one like that. It looks well done though. Would be neat to have though.

Nicely done one of a kind custom work. could have been for camper or other use, but the 12v power connection says a camper is very likely. Or other vocational use where power supply was needed back there.
