Tool box / bed cover combo?

I guess I want my cake and eat it too.

Recently acquired a 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 with the 6.6 Duramax, 6 1/2' bed length. Logically, (my wife said), it was time to sell the 25' bumper pull and upgrade to a 5th wheel. So, we purchased a 2015 Columbus, 36'. We've already gone on our first camping trip, love the truck / trailer setup. However, I had to ditch the large Weatherguard toolbox that was in the bed of the truck (RV shop that installed the 5th wheel hitch said it would not clear the 5th wheel during sharp turns).

Question is I'm looking at some low profile toolboxes but also would like the option of a roll out or folding bed cover. Anyone have such a setup?

Thanks in advance.

    Cummins, that is a big box, I moved the one out of the 2001 into the 2016, and was able to put 1-1/2" spacers under it so I could haul some 8' lumber in it. I also got another roll up bed cover for it. You can get a lot of Stuff in that box!!

    We have a below the rails tool box and a roll up cover works great!
  • I have a long box dually with a regular tool box . I took a roll top cover and modified it so I can use the top and still have the tool box. Ideally a box that fits below the bedrails would be better , but sometimes you have to work with what you have. Has worked good on my last two trucks. YMMV.
