I'm looking for a diamond plate tool box for the bed that is flush with height of the bedrails, like this:

I realize that picture is a gas tank instead of a toolbox but it's the closest thing I could find. Does anyone know of a company that makes one of these? A GOOD one, not a piece of junk.

Chris , I see a bunch of boxes for sale on craigslist for dirt cheap prices. that would be the cheapest way to get one.

Yeah I already looked at those Weather Guard ones... It doesn't show any kind of fitment... Are those all purpose boxes going to fit real snug between the rails and come right up to the rail height?

yea they are tool chests and they dont mount without drilling holes in the bed floor.

You can get tonneau covers that are made for trucks with over-the-rail tool boxes.
 
an FYI for ANYONE looking for ANYTHING on craigslist...

that site is awesome. it uses craigslist, but saves your searches for you. do a few, good searches and it will hang onto them for you to come back to. only thing it's missing is emailing me new results

Like I said in my other thread, it's more for the weather protected storage (lol, if I get a tonneau whats the point? but it would be lockable). In my personal opinion, over the rail boxes are ugly. But that's because I like the clean smooth look. :)

i never understood the point of these - y not just get a "tool chest" or one that doesn't go over the rails. only advantage i can think of is it'd be a little easier to secure to the bed. is that the only reason/advantage
