i took the advice of others on here and picked up (off of craigslist) a weather guard tool box. they are a very solid box. fraction of the cost of a new one. when i looked for a box i would ask myself could i stand on the lid (im 6' 2" 235) with out it flinching. i dont know about the others by my weather guard can hold me with ease.

My father bought a steal Reading in 1988 for his F150, then I used it on my '97 Ram and in 2003 I bought a steel weather Guard because the reading was starting to rot out and needed new gas shocks for the lid (not bad for 15 years). I am still using the weather guard and it started to show rot on one corner of the lid last year, so I fixed it and repainted it. I don't think Reading makes the same box that I had anymore, but the Weather guard was expensive (as was the Reading) but has served me well and would probably buy another.

What's your budget? You can find them from $100 to $1,000. For example I've got a steel Rawson Koenig (RKI) in my old 1/2 ton that 2 men could stand on and not deform it, but it also takes those same 2 men to pick it up. I got it at dealer cost and it was pushing $300 10yrs ago. It was too wide for my F250 shortbed so I got a cheap narrow one from Tractor Supply for less than $150. I can pick that one up myself and nearly throw it.

Just sold a nice Rawson-koenig RKI C63A box to a guy with a truck like yours. Good box! I the inner sliding tool tray is what really sells it. It slides to either side and then locks in the middle. Only sold it because I tow and need a flush mount box.
I have a Husky flush mount box that I got from Home Depot and have been using for years. Not quite as beefy or as good of a build quality as the RKI box but for the price it does the job and looks decent.
