I went with the DEEZEE narrow plastic rail mounted. The number embossed on the inside of the lid is PN DZ6170P.
We were in our local Princess Awful store and I saw this box on the high top rack that looked interesting with a regular price at $249cd. Told the wife I'd like them to bring it down for a closer look. She says why? That's the same one over here for $75. Bonus...good wife.
I tell ya I should have bought all of them. Perfect size for the 5 foot truck bed and well made.
In the pics you can see the cylinder lock dust cover I added.
I also didn't like the way the 2 J-bolts provided only held it down with a flat then 20190801_080538.jpg 20190731_193628.jpg 20190801_115714.jpg lock washer and nut in 1 location per side through the weaker flat portion of plastic. I cut a short length of 4" ABS pipe to fab 2 segments about 3 1/2" along the radius. Now the bolt clamps down on 2 stiffener ridges on the horizontal and vertical planes.
This box looks good with no blingy chrome or bright colours and is very well built.
I'm a happy camper now.

It replaces the box I was re-using from my last GM truck. It worked out OK after I bridged it up using some old plastic end caps off the side shelves of a gas grill.
It worked out and looked OK but blocked off some of the rear window. Was a bit 'Beverly Hillbillies' cool:)20190801_152640.jpg

This is the one I chose although I have to crawl into the bed to get into it and you lose some space up front. The lid however will fully open with the hard tonneau raised.

Nice boxes! I am on the fence about putting a box in the back of my truck. The box is sitting in the back yard. :)

I like the one Pull Ya has. Can you tell us the mfg, and how do you have it secured ?

Thanks.

It's a Delta Champion about 48" long, 10" deep and 18" wide. It's not secured to anything, it just sits on the bed rug. I got enough crap in it, so it's to heavy to move--I think. Thanks for the nice comments

Thank you sir for the box info, that sure looks better then the plastic tub I use. I don't have my secured either and it really doesn't move. Instead of crawling under my tonneau cover most of the time, I have an Access EZ Retriever tool from the Access Cover people. I added some 550 paracord onto both ends of the "tub", and with the EZ tool I can just grab the box and pull it to the tailgate, and when done push it back
