Default No Truck toolbox that fits?

Hey fellas. Im over at Lowes and Home Depot today and I cannot find a truck toobox for the bed that fits. I want a end to end slim line, not a side box. The dimensions just dont add up with our truck bed? No ones got one? I wanted a Kobalt.

I have a side box, but I just checked online for ya. There are several at www.autoanything.com, including some low profile models. I saw some on several other sites out there, too. Just order it online.

Yeah, there are some. Ask Coondog where he got his, there's a pic of his in this thread:

yeah it didn't come out...I didn't cover it up one day when it rained and i came home and it warped out[:@]...If I start it again i'll go ahead and KEEP it covered this time before I can get it sealed up with like urathane...i think that's wait..varnish...ugh im having a brain fart and cant remember what i was going to seal it with. What I also had an Idea to do was buy a premade one, then just creat a custom interior for it, because I do computer work I want to carry smaller screws and all, just make little compartments inside the box. when summer comes i'm going to make my decision whether to start it again or not, and if I do, this time I also wont use particle board...real dumb idea...lol My measurements came out great, and it fit like a glove in my bed, slide it in, slide it out..just yeah it got ruined.

IMO Marine grade plywood would be a much better choice than MDF. MDF will warp if it gets any moisture into it at all, marine grade plywood will hold up.
