if you want it bolted in, go to a hardware store, pick up some nuts and bolts, and take the drill to it... Best I can offer...

I don't think the j bolts are for flush mount toolboxes... but heck. I'd just drill a few holes into the bed, and be done.

Pics please! I plan on this.

Call a truck accessory place and ask them.. Like a dealer that sells those toolboxes call them up and ask them they can help you figure out what needs to be done.. I'm getting a regular low profile toolbox on soon and they told me it was just some clips no drilling but call em up and ask to see if they have a solution for you

The clips that they said were probly the j bolts which do a real good job at securing the tool box

if by flush mount you mean the same as below the rail tool box then you should do what a friend of mine did. he carefully measured where the bed bolts would line up underneath the toolbox, then drilled the holes into the toolbox, removed the bed bolts, and put the bolts back in this time going through the toolbox and then into the bed. it works great and he beats the **** out of his truck, no problems so far
