Does anyone know of a toolbox that can be put at the rear of a truck body, has pull out drawers, and is at least mostly waterproof?



I want to set up a tool box that will be used for approx a month, then taken out when not in use.  I can't find anything made



specifically for this.  I have seen some top boxes that might work, but none I have found are actually intended to be used in the



back of a truck.



Thanks!

Neither carry a toolbox meant to be exposed to the elements at the rear of a truck bed.  I'm thinking I will have to go with a regular top box of some sort and make a waterproof cover for it.

Not exactly what I'm looking for unfortunately.





I really want something more like the picture below, but water resistant.

No drawers but if your storing tools these are the best. Mine has been in my truck for 4 years, no leaks, no dust inside, always organized.

Put that inside an under bed box?  I haven't seen a weather resistant box like a mechanic toolbox.

I have seen those on oilfield welding trucks.  I didn't know what was in them.  Very cool, I could use something like that in my garage, but too spendy for the size for that duty.

I love the one I have on my flatbed. I built a riser for it so it sticks above my side boards.  I loose way less tools with it, and for organization they beat any other box out there.

I'm thinking about getting a second one for the other side of my truck. That way I will have one for metric and sae tools. Plus more room for wiring stuff, sprayer parts, pins and other miscellaneous. I'll post a picture of mine later.

They actually carry something very similar to what I want, but its over $700.00.  That's a little more than I want to.

I've seen these style before http://tool-boxes.net/storage-drawers/



Something like this looks pretty neat http://autoadd-onsinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Chevy-Silverado-Roller-Tool-Box.jpg



One of these with a regular toolbox sitting in it might work http://www.2040-cars.com/_content/cars/images/68/483968/008.jpg



The neatest ones I've seen were built into service bodies.

Pretty sure I've never seen what looked like a regular mechanics box that was weatherproof.



If you get one with a lid that covers the front you might be able to add some rubber gaskets yourself though.
