I just got a 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab (pic in sig) since I needed some pickup functionality, but still need 4 doors for hauling our future kids. Since the Frontier's already a compact truck and since it's a Crew Cab that means the bed is even shorter than a regular Frontier, but that's fine since it still suits our needs 90+% of the time.
However, I'd like to have some sort of tool box/chest in the back to store stuff in that I don't want to keep in the cab, but I don't want to lose much bed space. Most of the regular, fixed-position tool boxes are just too big and would take up too much space. So I've thought a somewhat smaller chest version might be a good compromise. That way I could take it out and put it in the back seat whenever I need the extra hauling room. Of course I'd need to make sure it was somehow safely secured when it's in the truck bed. I've seen some metal tool chests, but I was actually kind of thinking a heavy-duty plastic one (something along the lines of this Rubbermaid toolbox) might be easier to move about. Does anybody else have something similar or know of a good place to look for something like I'm describing?
