bed/bedside storage options

I've got a longbed truck, and I'd like some extra semi-secure storage. I pull a goose so bed access and clearance is important.

So, I looked at a few in bed over the wheel well boxes (go on the side), and was wondering if anyone has seen anything or has any ideas for incorerating something on the outside of the bed, something I could access from the outside. Thinking about hacking a hole and building a box, but with my fab skills I'd rather start with some sort of kit.

Any options? Experience?

Thanks!

Not to sure... I do have ever really like those "utility beds" that they have now that keep the same shape and body lines as the stock bed! But i am sure they are not cheap!

I like the looks of those things, but heard $5-6k. Bit outta my price range.

Ive installed a few DEEZEE tool boxes and they look good and function well. without the cost of some of the other contractor grade boxes. They make them that fit over the wheel wells and so on too.

I've been toying with the idea of pulling the bed and putting a flatbed on. Then you could put underbed boxes on or almost any kind of tool box.
