Flush mount bed toolbox

I'm looking for a toolbox to put in the bed of my truck, mainly for luggage storage (not tools really) so it needs to be water tight. Don't want it to stick up over the rails either and needs to be lockable. Going to use my truck as a triathlon rig so I'm storing my gear in there.

What are you guys using?

Re: Flush mount bed toolbox

I've seen folks use the toolbox from a smaller truck (Ranger, S-10) inside of the larger trucks. Can be mounted to the bed floor and is lockable. Some are lighter weight plastic... If all the rubber stripping is still in place, then would seem to be waterproof. I've looked at some RubberMaid stuff... just doesn't seem heavy-duty enough to keep out prying eyes.

Re: Flush mount bed toolbox

Re: Flush mount bed toolbox

Gear is generally a transition bag with associated bike gear and tools/pumps etc. Would also be used for luggage. Just want something that fits well and looks nice. Don't want to go the tonneau route because of the bicycle(s)

This one works pretty good. Husky brand. I think I got it at Home Depot.

I like that, I'll have to check out the Husky brand as long as they come in black also. Pretty much what I'm looking for
