I recently acquired a "new to me" Chevy full-size, regular cab, short bed pick-up. There isn't much room in the cab for a gun, or two, behind the seat, and I would like to carry an after market jack and some other tools. I am interested in truck bed tool boxes and have a few questions that some of you here might be able to answer or pass along some wisdom. It's a pretty nicely equipped truck, just not huge, so would like to get something nice.

Brands you'd recommend?
Dealers?
(The only looking I have done is in my NorthernTool catalog)
Plastic, aluminum, or steel?
Diamond plate or flat steel?
Cross bed or side-mount or wheel-well box?
If cross bed, single lid or gull-wing?
Weather protection features to look for?

Thanks, Lou
