Looking for information from anyone who has compaired the weather guard tool box to highway products boxes ? Looking to add aluminum boxes to my Eby aluminum flatbed truck. Also does anyone know of a pull out drawer system for upright truck boxs

This is what I bought:
These guys have the best pricing I have seen:

They have pull-out drawers and come in different sizes. I went with a 96" with drawers. This is the only box I could find made for a flat-bed that was close to what I was looking for.
The box measures 20" deep. You won't find hardly any tool-boxes that measure that deep. Most measure 12" and a few go up to 16-18". It really gives a lot of room. I don't care for the gull-wing top door as it ends up being about "face high" when it's open and I kinda have to duck to see inside, but it does have a lot of room. The box isn't quite as beefy as I expected but seems to be suitable.

I just realized you are looking for the undermount style. I was thinking top-mount.
My Brute boxes seem to be fairly well sealed but I keep my truck inside so I'm not sure how weather tight they are. I haven't seen any evidence of water intrusion. The only thing I don't like about the brute is they are not nearly as beefy as the name implies, the metal is much thinner than expected.

I have never heard of highway products but I have a Weather Guard and a Dee Zee. The Dee Zee is their compettior series. The Dee Zee has always stayed dry inside but the Weather guard is a way nicer box. It has a rubber seal on the lid and locks on both sides, and the lid is braced better. If you are going to be using the box everyday a Weather guard is the way to go.
