Bed Tool Box

Any of you guys have a bed tool box on your slick? Just had my bed done in line-x (looks great) And am now thinking of a box also. Any ideas here like those plastic ones or the aluminum kind as in which would look better and which are the most secure? Can't seem to find any pics in the gallerys with one.

Personally if I was to put a box in it would be the ni bed kind, as the other tend to creat a rust issue on the top sides of the bed..The in beds are totable with handles (great for a jobsite issue) and if you dont want it in or on there for one reason or another (you need the space in bed) it comes right out lickity split

In my experience, the aluminum is the way to go. The plastic boxes tend to warp after a few years and they aren't very secure. The plastic just seems to fall apart faster than the aluminum.

In my daily driver; I put a s10 tool box (freebie), it has the lip for the bed rails; but it sits down completely below in the bed, I bolted two pieces of treated deck board to the bottom of my box too keep it from being completely on the bed floor. I havn't secure it to the floor, but it does lock easily from each side. O'course it doesn't provide the depth of a full side box, but it holds alot for me.
