Diamond Plate Tool Box
Since I've pretty much reached my wits end on this topic, I figured I'd post here to see if anyone can help point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a diamond plate tool box for my truck......

Gotcha... That was going to be my next question: How you planned to access it with a soft cover in-place. If it was mounted at the rear of the bed, a folding soft cover like an Extang Trifecta would work well, but up at the cab, getting the cover on and off could prove to be a challenge as the front mounting clips would be along-side the box... I'm not sure if a box that reaches the edges of the bed would work in that case...
My cover is an Extang Full-Tilt. The "hinge" runs along the front lip of the bed. There won't be any clearance issues as long as the box doesn't protrude above the bed sides. The box is mainly for small misc. tools I need for work and some little odds/ends. I don't expect to need any major access to it while the cover is in place, at least nothing that I couldn't get out with a half-opened lid. I currently have a small gangbox on casters that has to come in a out as needed (HEAVY), or a small Plano box which has now started to leak. A compact box is OK, since it won't be more than half-full at any time.
