Storage box
V8MoneyPit:
Ordered a tailored storage box for the back of Daisy. It came from an eBay shop metallicsuk. Very helpful guy who is happy to take on custom work as well as his standard range. This is based on one of his truck side boxes, but sized to my requirements with a chamfer at the back to sit it into the barrel side. Very heavy duty hinges and latch.
The lid stays are my addition.... Mini boot lid straps, but work perfectly.
I wanted the side opening so I can add tie down loops to the top of the box and still access the recovery gear when I've got stuff stowed on top.

£100 including delivery. I thought very reasonable.

Ignore me, I have fantasy of having a combined hobo oven/heater in the truck with a chimney when I become a homeless hippy - that box looks like a smoker oven.
For the amount of work involved in fabrication of that box I think you got off very lightly for £100 - total bargain for sure. The front opening reminds me of those fb MOD kit boxes that you see adorned in some trucks.
barebox are another source for value for money storage solutions where you tailor the end product to suit trucks environment.
