i have a kobalt (Better Built Brand) low profile toolbox in my truck. it fits it very well. it only is 12 inches long but fits all my tools and my jack just fine and barely sticks up two inches.

What are you carrying (size wise) and are you trying to have something removable?
You could go with an over the fender box: http://www.rotonics.com/never-rust-toolboxes/fendertainer.html

Or a drawer system like this: http://www.jrhwebdesign.com/truck-bed-tool-boxes/truck-drawer-boxes.shtml

pretty close, basically i used a 1/2'' carriage bolt and nut, some 3/4'' washers, a small 3/8'' U-bolt and a lock. i got everything at home depot for like $15 for two boxes. it wasnt hard to figure out once i started looking at it. besides drilling the holes the only mod i had to do was bend the top lip down on the carriage bold side which you can see in the first pic. i recently put some velcro on the back of the locks to keep them from bouncing because the noise was driving me crazy.

Velcro is a good idea cuz just the one that's in there right now was killing me on my way up to the college last night.
Your cans are a little different than mine, mine have hinges on one side so i only had to do one side. I just used and eye bolt and had to notch the latch because there was only a circular hole. Here's some pictures of the finished and not finished.
Random picture of the truck.

The cut out on the latch is kinda sloppy I'm gunna clean it up with the dremel but when I pull the top and paint it again it wont be as noticeable.
