Not really a diesel type question ...

Not really a diesel type question so likely the mods will move this even though I don't read the other forums here.

But what the hell.

Do any of you use an under bed tool box? I'm looking for a pair that would be good and secure to go under the flat bed.

Most of the ones I've seen frankly a good crowbar and 15 seconds will open right up.

Do you mean under the bed, or just below the bed rails? If you just want a below the rail box, you can look into a job box at the tool stores or something like the 2nd one here Tool Boxes

Those are nice but I really mean under the bed. I have a flat bed not a standard pickup bed. So those don't really work so well for me.

I know some of the guys use them for work so thought I'd throw a line out here and see what people like.

Try this WEATHER GUARD Underbed Truck Boxes
They are a little pricey but they make a great tool box.

Flat bed. I'm with you now, and know what you mean. Does it have to be pretty? I've used 3/16" steel strap and placed it on the sides and top of the boxes leaving it hanging over the front about 2" so you can't get good leverage with a pry bar to get them open.

Those boxes are too thin. Even if you have a good lock system, the doors are weak enough that they can be bent with a pry bar.

I have seen a few of them that are tied into the alarm system on the truck.
