I was looking for a box that resembled a "lean too" type of structure since that's what an 'old shop' would have for additional space. I had a box like one in the bed of my 64 that I had back in high-school. It was the width of the bed floor, prob 18-24" deep, & was just below the top of the bed-rail in height (19"?). It was prob .125" steel plate, piano hinged full width lid, w/a pivoting lock on the drivers side made from solid round stock to keep SMF's out.

Scoti, I agree that I need something more vintage looking. The object of me selling the Toyota was to free up a lot of money that I can spend on other stuff. I vow this is the year that I get a Miller Synchrowave 200 TIG welder and a Miller Spectrum 375 plasma cutter. As soon as I get the plasma I will likely just build something old and funky looking from scratch. I simply don't have a way to cut that much flat plate with decent results right now.
If you come across any pictures of old style, funky boxes, send me a link please. I need I dears.
