Does anyone have a good source for reasonably priced, good tool boxes to mount under the box or bed of a truck? I'm looking to mount a camping trailer on an Isuzu NPR, like Carl Hunter's FG/Bigfoot camper, and am looking for storage boxes to mount under it?

This is the best deal I have found so far. Does anyone have experience with Phoenix steel boxes?

These Underbodies Can also Be Used as a Top Mount. The Door is Hinged to

Stainless Steel T-Handle

Thanks, Vic

Definitely much cheaper than the competitors.

those look like good boxes and the prices seem fair, maybe another option is to look at or contact commercial truck salvage yards or re-sellers. there are plenty on the web you can contact asking about boxes and available used units, shipping would kill you though.

I contacted my local tow yard for the same reason. They use AWdirect.com for their tow vehicles. Lots of recovery equipment, tool boxes and air compressors.

In the various searches which have resulted in the above-mentioned boxes, has anybody run across underbodies that are around 12" tall by 12" deep by around 36" wide? I haven't been able to find anything this small commercially, and the thought of having to build one from scratch seems silly....
