I know the Forum search function is broken, but I made a great list of a lot of the box's that fit.

Pretty much any tool box that is 60" to 63" Wide "A" works

Here is my old 60" wide Delta single lid

I had to get mine ordered in as they have different size beds as Ranger, and them.
Your best bet would be to find a 63" One which would fit like it should.
Mine came with J bolts (so no drilling the rails) they would just hook it. Mine is bolted to the backrack anyways.
Heres mine, its a TrailFX one. Im not fond of the sloped sides (cant complain got it free)

I don't like them showing above the bed and I like the quick removal For sleds or the bikes. Tsc has some that are 48 or even 37" wide I'm gonna pick up

Mine blocks the window alot, especially on the backrack, makes it like 1 1/2-2" higher up.

do you have a quad cab or ext cab? I have a quad and it made it hard to find a box that would fit because the wheel wells are so close to the front of the bed. Luckily I found a nice used delta box that was cut with an extra notch that fit great! and I got it for a great price. I also liked that it is a low profile box, so not only does it look better when it sits, and its easier to get into from the side, but it also doesnt block my rear view at all!

If that is what you are looking for I am actually selling it, cuz I got a fiberglass tonneau now. either way it would fit in your truck, ext or quad. I'll sell it cheap ($75). Lemme know.

You can see in this last pic how the extra notch thats cut will allow for wheel well clearance.
