The box is still below the bed rail even with the extra inch of height from the hockey pucks. It's nice to have a trunk now.

Mine is only a 48" wide box. I used to always get a new over the rail box for my DDs, then someone pointed this out so I didn't have to get a new box for each truck. I ended up with an extra one, so it went in the 64. I like your idea of the pucks and plan to do it with mine now. Love so many of these threads with kool ideas.
