Stepside guys: How much space between running board and frame?

Trying to figure out how much space there is between the back part of the runningboard/step on a step-side, and the frame rail.
Is there enough space there to put a compartment with a Camper Special bed storage box door, and then a shallow storage compartment behind it? It'd be an easy spot to hold a modern jack, or jumper cables or something.

I just went out and measured 6" from the frame to the inner edge of the step.
