If you don't type it perfect, all you get is dog pictures. Neat looking boxes though. Might be pretty handy to bolt onto one of my running boards.

You'd have to leave enough clearance behind the case for the lid to open properly; it's what keeps me from mounting some cases in some places, but it would be interesting to see how well they do fixed outside for long term.
I suspect these tack boxes may be lighter in gauge than the one I posted at top. Those go for up to 3-400 bucks ea some places nowadays - though I've seen them other places much cheaper in recent years. If I recall correctly, I bought mine for around $79 in the early 80s. Just went to check to see if I have it here to take some photos, but don't. Must be in my storage unit.
Here are a few more pics I found, though, of one exactly like I have, from D-Flite. It is 18" L, 10 5/8" wide, 12" tall:

As for other aluminum boxes, I have three
Zarges cases that I love, too, that are Bear-Resistant. One this size, and two about half as tall:

Hope you end up making something,
@Rujack - I'm really interested to see how it comes out.
