Default truck box

Does anyone have a tool box on a quad cab? I've got a 2005 quad but was worried about the wheel wells getting in the way. I'm looking to spend around $300 or less and get a black diamond plate one.
Thanks
I did try the search but I saw a lot of the club cabs with boxes

I bought a low-profile one from lowes, and I had to do a little bit of cutting and welding to get it to fit right. It was a pain in the butt. Shoulda just took a BFH after it, and called it good enough for who it was for, but i like that it looks good now.

I think that Dee-zee, Weather Guard, and Delta(i think) all should have one that will work. Be sure to take a Tape measure after your truck before buying.

i have an 06 quad cab, you definitely want to watch the wheels, for us i think the only worry is depth. i tried putting my dads tool box from the ram into my truck and it wouldnt work. width and spacing were fine, it was too deep only bc the wheels were blocking it. the ram has a longer wheel base so the wheels are like in the middle of the bed. so all you gota do really is get one and make sure its not too deep.

I have one in my Club Cab, I believe it also fits Quad Cabs because the Side are sloped.
Here is a older pictures, help illustrate it tho. You can see if it wasnt on the Backrack, ande was over the wheel wells it would clear them (Ive had it sitting over them before when removing/installing it)
If your buying one new, SPECIFY its for a DAKOTA. S10's, Canyons and Ranger all have Smaller Boxes. Mine was for a Dakota/Raider/Tacoma. I used to have one off a Ranger in my 2k, barely fits across.

ive got a bed box from leonard truck accessories.
its made for them by "better built" according to the sticker inside.

ive got the low profile on my quad cab,but good luck finding a black one for that price you mention.
i wanted black,but it was cheaper to buy the silver.

yes the wheel wells make a difference on the quad cab. the leonard dude ordered me the wrong one at first, for a club cab instead, and it would not fit between the wheel wells cause of the shorter bed.

cant remember the model #, but they did make a black one too.

fwiw, i looked at the ones from lowes etc. the leonard was more $ but made better with heavier duty latches etc.
