Metal pork chop box

[subquark]

While I do like the ABS swing-out wheel well tool boxes and will be using a Bak Revolver tonneau, I'd like to mount a bed tool box that is a bit tougher.

I'm good with a standard steel tool box that I could attach to the bed with an internal lock (I have a metal box in my FJ40 that I drilled a hole in, tacked a giant washer to reinforce, and pass a chain into it with a padlock inside, the other end of the chain is welded to the bottom of a home-made roll bar).

But what I'd really like is a steel or aluminum pork chop box that I can keep my come-along, tools, jumper cables, and chains in.

I don't have the truck yet (should be here in the next two weeks - grain of salt) so I don't have measurements, but I figured if anyone's used a metal box like this in a Ranger, they'd be here on this forum! =)

I'm open to welding up my own but if one's made, I'd love to hear about it (and it would probably be cheaper!)

Holy crap!!! The ones with drawers are always more but $1,400 is some serious cash!

I'll stick with my plastic one for now with the cost of the metal one. I also don't keep chains or anything heavy so I am no where near the 80 pds limit.

I love my swingcase think I might ask for the opposite side for Christmas

How far towards the center of the bed does the swing case protrude when compared to the wheel humps?

I've been thinking that I'd like a swingcase, but I'm not sure if my 4 wheeler would squeeze past it or not. The front tires on the wheeler squeak against the wheel humps when I load it up.
