I'm looking for options/opinions for a 5th wheel style tool box. I'm thinking a maximum size of 48"x18"x18" and could possible go a little smaller that will go in the front of the bed.Thanks!

I picked up one at Lowes(could have been HD). It sits just below the rails.

Found mine used on Craigslist. Pretty much like the one shown. Having an extended cab truck with two dogs and grand kids on occasion I wouldn't be without it. Comes in handy when not towing to have a place to keep groceries out of the rain when the dogs are with is. When towing I keep leveling blocks, Sat TV stand in it with some other misc stuff. The tray has lots of little things and slides to both sides. My only option is to get as big as will fit, like storage cubbies, it fills fast

Also have the same Husky box in my shortbed Chevy and it works great.

How long do you want to keep it? I spent a little more to get the Weatherguard Model 664-5 chest back in 2001. It just went into my 2016 Ram and still works as well as it did when new. The black finish (matches the bed liner) hasn't flaked or chipped at all. It's quality stuff...Rusty

It was the narrower one for the 2nd gens, however sat on the bed rails of the 93 fine. Then it rode in a 2001.5 for 14 years and is now in the 2015.The V-box came along in 2003 or 4. Both were pricy when purchased, however they have been a great investment.Sad that the company went out of business, but when the box stores started selling boxes it was just a matter of time.Chris

Thanks everyone! I picked this one up this afternoon
It's not the best in the world but it looks like it will work just fine.

I guess I'm a little late, but I would have suggested a toolbox with an auxiliary fuel tank.

The third one might hole one's golf clubs, however the first two will not. That is the nice thing about our old Truck Trunk V-Box. The whole top opens and hold two sets of clubs, shoes, and wheels for our pull carts. Chris

I prefer a box that does not sit on the floor of the bed. I have one that is about 4 inches off the floor. That way when I remove my Signature Reese hitch I can haul a full sheet of plywood by going under the tool box to the front of the bed.

My local Farm and Ranch store has many models and makes to choose from.
