i got it form this place.
http://www.customtoolboxes.com/

$133.00 + $20.00 shipping, $153.00 total.

measurement is 12" high x 12" deep x 32" wide.
i needed a box to store a small floor jack and small tool box.
i think i like the black look, so will not apply any wood to it for now.

Looks good.

I use a small one as well. Surprising how much stuff you can carry in one.

LOL.
thanks jockbolter..

yea, i was 100mph when i first bought the truck, now slowing down a bit.
not sure what is next on my list.....just gonna cruise and enjoy it for now.
i did install an under hood light, a factory one i got form a junk yeard, the mercury switch type.

i still, one day, want to fab some type of sheet metal bed cover.
long term i would love to put a 5 speed manual trans in it, but that is way down the road.

thanks again..

i drilled (4) 1/4" holes through the box and wood, and bolted it down with 1/4-20 x 3" long bolts and nuts.

thanks.
