★ Common Questions
Custom Dog Boxes & Hunting Truck Builds FAQs — Texas, TX
Do you build custom dog boxes for hunting trucks in Texas?
+
Yes — we weld custom aluminum and steel dog boxes sized to your specific truck bed (short bed, long bed, dually, flatbed). Vented doors, top storage, gun racks, gear racks and tie-downs are all built in-house in our Seguin, TX welding and canvas shop.
Aluminum or steel — which is better for a hunting truck dog box?
+
Aluminum is the most popular choice — lighter weight, naturally corrosion-resistant, and easier on fuel mileage. Steel is the right call for heavy-duty ranch use, bigger framed dogs, or when the rig will see years of hard work and you want maximum durability. We build both, and we'll recommend the right material for your hunt.
Can you weld in a gun rack and top storage on the dog box?
+
Yes — locking gun racks, top storage compartments with weather-sealed lids, removable gear racks for coolers and decoy bags, and tie-down rails for shock cords or ratchet straps. Pair the box with our hunting & fishing canvas, gear bags and truck wrap tarps for a complete rig.
Do you build dog boxes for mule buggies, UTVs and side-by-sides?
+
Yes — scaled-down aluminum dog boxes for Polaris Ranger, Can-Am Defender, Kawasaki Mule, John Deere Gator and similar UTVs and side-by-sides, plus mule buggy and lease vehicle dog boxes. Pair with our roll-down UTV weather curtains for cold-weather hunts.
How long does a custom dog box build take?
+
Most aluminum and steel dog box builds run 1–4 weeks depending on the queue and how much extra welding (top storage, gun racks, gear racks, tie-downs, paint or powder coat) is included. Rush jobs are available with a rush fee — send us your truck details and timeline.
Do you build the rest of the hunting truck — upholstery, wrap tarps, gear bags?
+
Yes. We're a full canvas + welding shop, so we can build the dog box, re-cover the seats in marine vinyl, sew a fitted wrap tarp, and stitch up matching hunting gear bags, shell carriers and dog hunting belt accessories — all under one roof in Seguin.
