Question:
I want a quality chest box for full size in matte black. something that is structured well enough that you can sit or stand on the lid and after years of service can be shut from one side standing beside the truck on the ground.

Hi Bob,
For what you are describing, I would go with the UWS Secure Lock Truck Bed Chest, part # UWS08298. It is a matte black option with a RigidCore lid that is built from extra thick aluminum plates filled with hardened foam to help prevent warping and bending over time. It also has Secure Lock twist style handles on both the driver and passenger sides, so you can open it while standing beside the truck instead of having to climb into the bed to reach a handle in the middle. That sounds like a much better fit for how you want to use the box, especially since being able to open it easily years down the road is important to you. I also attached a diagram so you can take a look at the overall size.
The DeeZee Hardware Series Truck Bed Tool Box, part # DZ8370SB, is another matte black option with handles on the ends of the tool box on both sides, which is a nice feature for opening it from the ground. However, I would not recommend it if standing or sitting on the lid is important, since it is not designed for that type of use. It is a custom fit for your truck and the crossover style will fit nicely in the bed.
The UWS would be my pick here because it better matches your priorities of a structured, durable lid and easy access from either side of the truck but it may be smaller than what you are looking for but you can stand on it!
What size box were you looking for?
