It might be hard to see but that's The toolbox I got in my 5.5' bed. Its a duralast low profile box I believe. I love it but also hate it. Keeps all my tools and stuff out of my cab. But when doin deliveries for work or stuff around home or for friends, I really wish I had the 6.5' bed.

I noticed you said that was your toolbox, but you didn't say that was your truck That truck is a 6.5" bed.

I bought a low profile toolbox from Lowe's for around $160. It's 12" wide, plenty of room for me. Makes my bed only 4.5", but I can deal with that

Sorry for the crappy pic, but I didn't want to go outside, this is from upstairs through a screen.

Lowes sells one called a slim line which is 12" wide, but it depends on how much you need to put in it.

I have now and always stood by Weathergaurd Boxes. I have the Lowpro 127-01 on my 5.5 and I love it. Buyer Beware They are expensive.

I've got the low profile WeatherGuard as well. It was already on my truck when I bought it, but it's awesome!
