Default tool boxes with bed covers?

I have a soft bed cover (old school with the bows and snaps) and am looking for a wheelwell tool box. any good sites that have a variety and good price? I can't seem to find a good selection of these, are they out there somewhere? I would get a crossbox, but I use my tools everyday and it is too much work to snap the cover when it is cold outside. anybody have this issue or help on it would be great.

Man they funny. I was going to buy a wheel well box. jcwhitney.com has them and about any good auto parts store. When I was in canada a few months back I saw one at canadian tire. I played with it and thought it was cool. Sears.com has metal ones with drawers. I would stick with the plastic just for the fact it wont rust and cold weather wont make it buckle. If you get it tell me how it works.

Yeah, i've seen the plastic ones and the white Delta ones. thats about it though. no cool diamond plate or black diamond plate, or stainless steel. One of them on each side facing the tailgate seems like it might be the perfect setup. still would give you lots of room to haul stuff and store tools and accessories out of the way, I am thinking. Anyone have one???

I have 2 of the black plastic Delta ones and they have been great. You can reverse which way the lids open and I have never had one leak, I carry oil,tow straps, tire air compressor,extra coolant,fan belt and misc stuff in them. They are no wider than the wheel wells so you still have alot of the bed to use, even on my shortbed I could still haul an atv in it until I put a shell on. You have to drill some holes in the bed to mount it tho.They also lock to.
