you can get a in bed tool box. they sit inside the bed flush with the top
of the bed.
Your other options are to get those wheel well boxes. I saw these boxes
that sit on the sides of the bed inside the bed over the wheel wells. im
not talking about the construction boxes that sit over the bed rail these
sit inside the bed ( sort of the same boxes the Chevy avalanche has.
Your other option is to do what I do. get abotu 5 milk crates and set them
in the bed where a tool box would go. zip tie them together. the wheel well
humps will keep the from sliding back to the tailgate. I can get those milk
crates for about 1$ a piece.
