I have a Delta Champion aluminum single lid box. Nice box, lots of room and it sits flush with the cab so I can still look into the bed. Not the most expensive one on the market by any means and I'm not a contractor. I just use it as a place to keep extra stuff and sometimes luggage when the cab is full of people.

I use a Delta box also, only its the low profile model as I pull a 5th wheel trailer. It will still hold plenty of stuff. My only complaint about is the lock is pretty cheesy, but it keeps the casual thief out.

i was in a hurry to get one, so i dropped the $500 and got a weathergaurd.
it is a great box. the only complaint I have is that it is really deep (lots of room). it doesn't lend itself very well for adding an auxiliary tank. i finally found a 40 gallon that will fit. i should have waited and spent a little more money and got a toolbox/tank combo, but you can't beat a weathergaurd.
i highly recommend with a RK or weathergaurd.

My is kind of hard to see in the picture but its similar to Glenns. I bought it off a buddy of my for $100. I like how it fits under my tonneau and The tonneau can unsnap from the front which makes it easy to get to and it keeps it out sight.

I've got a Ranch Hand tool box. Made out of diamond plate steel (not the thin sheet metal stuff). It's heavy, but when you put the round disc locks on it, the only way to break in is with a cutting torch.
I use them for the work trucks too. I've got 2 boxes someone tried to get into with a crowbar. All it did was bend the lip a little. Sorry I don't have a pic, but it looks like most other over the rail toolboxes that are black.

Thanks everyone
Thanks once again for all the pics an input. I have something to refer to when I make up my mind an what to do. I figured if i was spending good money i want to make sure i get something good that will hold up an look nice. I have had my truck for 3 years an no tool box. Needed one a long time ago. I just have been throwing things in the back in to other boxes I put back there. As usual this forum an you guys rock 
.
