Advice on truck boxes
I'm looking for a truck box to mount inside my bed. Don't want one that hangs over the sides....something that will be covered with a tonneau. Anyone have something like this or can recommend one?

I have a smaller box that I chain into the bed. but it is small enough I can take it out and put it in the back of the cab if I need to haul something that eats the whole bed of the truck. I.E. lumber or motorcycles. I don't know the exact dimensions but I think around 1.75' tall x 3' wide x 1' deep.
It holds just enough to get by, and don't know the price as I traded my father my full size tool box from my s-10, for this one he carried in the back of his Tacoma.

I have a big plastic bin that I leave in the bed with tools and misc things.
If I need room in the bed, I move it into the back seat.
Works like a charm.
I can see an issue with trying to get into a fixed storage box under a cover. The bin in the back works well cause I can move it around or out of the bed.

I purchased a 46" chest type tool box from TSC (Tractor Supply Co).
http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pro...silver-46-in-l
I welded up a 3" "pedestal system" that it bolts on using the Bed bolts.
I can also take out 4 bolts to remove the tool box, and disassemble the frame work in less than 2 minutes if I need 100% bed access.
(Having the 5.5' bed, I wanted that feature & actually had to use it a couple times. Works great!!) I then I had all my brackets and supports lineX coated.
I also have an Extang Encore 3pc cover, and I can flip up the front section & have 100% access to the tool box.
The 3" pedestal system is nice so I can slide plywood or drywall UNDER the tool box and they will go all the way to the front of the bed.
