waterproof box for electrical stuff?

Does anyone know of a source for small, waterproof boxes that can be mounted in the truck bed, for installing smallish electrical stuff? I was thinking of something with room for a small inverter, and perhaps my stereo amps. There just isn't much room inside the cab for stuff like this.

An alternative would be to remove the rear console and build a custom box of some kind. Any ideas there are welcome, too...

Got to an electrical contractor supplier. Yoe can get a 24" square by 6" deep weatherproof PVC junction box with a cover. The supplier can give you weather tight wire connectors also.

Thanks. After I posted this, it occurred to me that a sealed box probably isn't the perfect idea I originally thought, since the components I'll be putting in there will need cooling air. I guess I was looking for motherhood and virginity in the same body.

I'll take a closer look at removing the rear console and building a simple enclosure there...might even house a downfiring sub.
