truck box
I have a 98 XLT flareside with a tonneau cover. I've been looking for a low profile truck box that fits underneath the tonneau cover behind the cab. the problem is that the darn flareside bed is only 44" wide. I can't find on that fits, except for some aluminum tool chests that you just throw in the bed. does anyone know of any manufacturer that makes such a tool box?

I have the same configuration as you and tried to locate a box that fit. The only solution I found was having one made at a custom metal shop. They wanted $400 and I didn't want the box that much. Good luck.

Ever think of making it out of something else?? Like maybe a hardwood plwood? If you coat it with a couple coats of verathane it will handle almost any kind of weather especially under a cover like that.And it won't cost that much either.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 31-Jul-02 AT 09:43 AM (EST)]Yeah, that's what I'm going to resort to, plywood or some other cheap material like particle board. And yes, many coats of paint. thanks
