Any ideas for a toolbox/equipment box?

I am looking into buying a toolbox for my truck, but one that the lid sits level with the bed rails of the truck? does any one here have something like that?
i also saw a plastic "truck" box at wally world that was only 42 bucks or so....lets see some pics! appreciate it!

It is for a Ford Ranger... he got some angle iron and got creative, thus making it sit below the rails.

Great idea if you want my opinion.

Hey tardman, how much did that UWS box set you back? I'd like to get the low-profile over the rail box...

It is a UWS wedge-style toolbox. I got it at a local truck shop when I was living in Tallahassee.

If I remember correctly it was just about $300 out the door.

Mine is the same as Tylus except mine is mounted with stainless hardware coming through the front of the bed with rubber grommets, stainless fender washers and wing nuts inside the box for fast removal if needed plus no water penetration. SEE GALLERY!
