Anybody got a good source for Diamond Plate tool boxes? I'd even look at scratch-and-dent stuff or whatever, just looking for a decent price on something that's going to be Water-proof for life.

try looking in your area to see if there is a Sears Outlet store there thats where the scratch and dent stuff winds up alot of times.. i got washers and stoves there for the rentals and ive seen tool boxes there
sometimes you can get a decent deal at Lowes or home depot too
Id suggest ebay but those things go for too much for a used box

Lowe's or the Home Depot carry truck boxes.

Yeah, I've been checking out all of the retail outlets. I just thought I'd see if anybody's cousin had a dealership on the side, and could sell them and cost, or something like that. The best I've found so far is a 60" box for $200 at TSC locally. All the Sears Repair store had were Cross Boxes for an S-10. Thanks for the input, guys.

Turns out it was the a 56" box for $200 at TSC, but I bought it anyway.
