I did something very similar to your setup, Jim. I was given an old truck toolbox, and I had a carrier fabricated for it. I'm using a pair of Bores bumper guides to help remind me it's out there. I can't see any part of the box from the drivers seat! The bumper guides are wired in to the turn signals.

I have a front hitch on the truck, and the toolbox carrier was made using two pintle-hitch mounts. I can raise it up several inches if needed. Stabilized with a pair of turnbuckles to the tow-hooks.

I've also put a set of auxiliary lights on the front because I discovered the box casts a shadow in the headlights when driving at night.
