With cold wet weather approaching it is time to outfit your truck with a tool box from Uvalco Supply.  We stock truck tool boxes for full size domestic trucks from the top brand manufacturers of RKI and UWS.

RKI, formerly Rawson Koenig, manufactures a vast array of truck tool boxes made from 14 gauge steel featuring stainless hinges and steel paddle latches.  RKI boxes are available in steel with a black or white powder coat finish and aluminum bright, black or white powder coat.  All RKI truck boxes feature sealed gas shock lid supports.

Most RKI boxes are available in deep and or wide dimensions to fit almost any application.  See RKI’s unsurpassed warranty for details on their lifetime warranty.

Uvalco also carries aluminum boxes made by UWS.  UWS features a lower profile lid design that opens a full 90 degrees to the box allowing it to be loaded with larger items than the competition.  All single lid boxes come equipped with two super-duty lift cylinders that raise and hold the Structural Foamed Lid open.  Also check out the popular drawer slide boxes.  A great investment for field service trucks.  These had been a great seller here at Uvalco.

Tools are a big investment so make sure you have them well protected with a tool box from Uvalco Supply.  We have many boxes in stock but if we don’t have what you need we can get it on the way with just a phone call.  See us for your fuel transfer tank needs as well.

It doesn’t seem possible but Christmas time is rapidly approaching and it is never too soon to do your holiday shopping for the outdoors-man on your list.  Uvalco Supply has a huge variety of gift items for anyone on your list.  Before I list any suggestions for gift ideas, I feel it is necessary to mention that Uvalco makes strides to make sure we have the most durable, well built products on the market.  Many of our suppliers have a very short customer list and you will find products here that you will not find at a big box retailer or outdoor outfitter. 

One of the benefits of living in the southern part of the U.S. is that we can enjoy the outdoors for the better part of all twelve months.  Winter is especially enjoyable in Texas where the days are warmer and the nights are just a little chilly.  Nothing feels quite like a camp fire on a cool night.  Uvalco fire pits or disk grills as we call them are perfect for a cozy fire in any outdoor setting.  The pots are made from 1/4″ steel and they are hand crafted right here at Uvalco Supply.  They are available in 24″, 30″, 36″ and 48″. These are not the flimsy units that are mass marketed by the big retailers.  A great gift for anyone who enjoys cooking outside or enjoying a glass of wine around the fire.  All cooking grills are removable to make an open firepit.  Visit Uvalco Supply online to purchase yours today and have it shipped right to your door in time for Christmas.

If shrimp & crawfish boils and frying are more up your sportsman’s alley, choose from one of our many handmade propane cookers.  All of our propane cookers are built from 1/8″ hot rolled flat and round steel and include a 5′ hose and propane regulator so they are ready to cook.  Select from 1 burner, 2 burner or 3 burner units that can be used with or without legs which are included and stow easily on the side of the frame when not in use.  Don’t forget to add side tables (sold separately) to one or both ends of the cooker to add food preparation space.  Also available are cooker carts that have 2 burners with a preparation area in between and a set of wheels attached for mobility.   All of our propane cooker units are made here in Texas and built to last a lifetime.

As long as you’re getting your cooker you should pick up your cookware as well.  Uvalco Supply carries a large selection of Lodge brand cast iron cookware, deep fryers, aluminum stock pots and handmade griddles the will compliment any of our propane cookers.  Remember, Uvalco Supply specializes in large, durable hard to find items to feed the largest crowds and last forever.

Uvalco Supply also has one of the largest selections of Bar-B-Que pits and grills in south Texas.  Choose anything from a tabletop grills all the way up to our trailer pits and anything in between.  All of the Bar-B-Que pits we stock are made from the best materials and display fine craftsmanship.  All of our items are able to be shipped either UPS or common carrier so get your gifts today at Uvalco Supply.

Well, another whitetail deer season is bearing down on us here in south Texas and it looks to be a shaping up to be a good one.  While we had a hot and dry summer, fall is looking just the opposite with mild temperatures and some decent rainfall.  The deer are packing on the weight from all of the acorns and the bucks are starting to move due to the cooler weather.

When we prepare for deer season we tend to concentrate on pre-hunt supplies and duties and often times neglect products that are essential for post-kill.  Uvalco Supply carries items that are a must for hunters and outfitters that can make life much easier after you drop a deer.

Loading a deer can be made simple with one of our receiver hitch winch hoists available with either a manual or 12 volt electric motor.  Simply slide the hoist into your receiver, attach the cable to the deer, crank to the proper height and swing into the truck bed.  Also works great with UTVs.  The receiver hitch hoists can also be used as a portable processing station as it raises and lowers to any height for convenient gutting and skinning.

Another product that aids in quick processing is the Uvalco chest cavity speader.  The chest spreader makes gutting a snap and will  surely reduce knife accidents with any species especially in low light conditions.  Stick one in the glove box and one in the hunting bag.
