On a side note, does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes the combo tanks (fuel & tool) that aren't low profile ? IE, the sides of the toolbox sit on the bed sides ?
I don't like the extremely small toolbox volume in ANY of the combo's I've seen. They all say the low profile is for 5vr trailer clearance. Well, I don't and most likely never will have one, so I'd rather have the extra storage space.
Any ideas aside from a custom tank ?

(and secured to something more substantial than the bed rails).
Nothing like launching a 50 gallon, 350 pound, molotov cocktail at the back of your head in the unfortunate event of a collision.

If you need the extra storage space that a "regular" toolbox would give you, buy an over the rail tool box and get an "L" shaped fuel tank to go under it. That way you can have about 90 gallons AND a full size tool box for all of your tools. 
I thought about it, but I don't need that much tool space.

Fiver, the tank in the post above has the cover over the filler tube. I am thinking about getting the one you have from Northern Tool, that has the filler neck in a cut out in the corner of the box. I would really like to lock the lid to the toolbox, like the one above, so that noone can siphon out that liquid gold in the tank. Have you had any problems with that yet?

I can't imagine having a filler inside the tool box - - what happens if you have a spill while filling?
