I have a tool box in the bed of my truck and i was also considering getting a tonneau cover for the bed, the only problem is i eventually would like to put bed rails on my truck as well and unfortunately my box gets in the way. i know i can get a tonneau cover that goes up to the box but what about the bed rails? also is there a style box that doesn't hang over the top of the bed to be mounted and can be under a full tonneau cover so i can eventually get chrome bed rails? any ideas you guys have are greatly appreciated.

 

I have a in bed tool box and it sits about 1/2 under the bed rails
it's a weather guard

 

would a tonneau cover be able to be placed over it do you think?

 

I think I would need to start behind mine .. but thats how I would want it for quick access ,, I have one now but it's home made and it's 2 pieces that slide in a rail when the tailgate is down

They're a little spendy but you could use the rolling type tonneau thats works like a window shade.It mounts inside the bed rails and they make them for a bed with a toolbox installed.

Pace makes them also they are about 1k
I almost bought a barley used one for 500

 

i was looking at one by Access that goes right up to the box and stays inside the bed. i was thinking about getting bed rails eventually which is why i wanted to see if i could make it so i can have the option later on down the road. that box is sick btw lol i wish mine did that

 

its a roll up and is only about 400 heres the link Access Tool Box Tonneau Covers for Ford

 

Thanks for the link ,, the fabric ones won't work for me I just don't want my stuff a razor knife away from a thief ,

 

true i never thought about that, would that be a good option for a truck with a toolbox though? ive also heard of people taking the bed rails and cutting off an end of the rail and bolting it to the box.

 

not sure I am still figuring out the best thing for my needs ,, my makeshift tonneue was for a skiing trip ,, and I liked it so much I need a more permanent set up
I also have the 4 drawer in my bed

 

hmmm.. the tonneau cover i linked earlier is perfect because of the price for me but the whole bed rail thing is whats throwing me off be them i need to do something about the tool box and then a tonneau cover to clear it.

 

one of these has a toolbox in it

BakFlip Tonneau Cover - BAKBox (NEW!)

 

I bought a tractor supply tool chest, sits on the bed floor and is about an inch below the bed rails. Will top that with a Bakflip within the next month or two, which will allow me to lock everything away with the locking tailgate.

 

I access my tool box too much to have to open a tonnue section first plus I have a drop in ladder rack

so I think I am getting the roll and lock
