Default Behind seat storage?

I have an '08 std cab F150. I am going to be putting a tri fold tonneau cover so no tool box in the back will be used. I need something to go behind the front seats to hold stuff from sliding around back there. I would prefer it to be rigid and not something that hangs behind the seat. Anything like this out there? I looked at jcwhitney and nothing there. Anyone else have this problem? thanks, gary.

Try looking at the plastic storage totes at your local Walmart, Kmart, etc.
They come in various sizes and shapes. You may be able to find something that suits your needs.

That's a good idea. Probably have to cut them down some to fit behind the seat, but it would work! Thanks, gary.

gw, a 20mm (or equivalent) ammo can ought to fit nicely. I am working from memory but I think it will fit. I would remove the lid. Any large army surplus outlet should have these.

Thanks for the replies. I picked up something that works great from wally world. I went to a gun show sat. and the ammo boxes were wayyyyy over priced.

My bad, it was at Lowe's. Clear storage container with the flip open lids for easy access. About $6 and works great, just right for behind the seat and holds quite a bit. Works with both seats all the way back too.
