I made the mistake of letting my pace edwards tooltop (toolbox) and jackrabbit go with my old truck.

After the fact I find out PE discontinued the tooltop box. Does anyone have any idea how/where to find another one?

Give some consideration to custom made Retrax. You can pick any toolbox you want and get the Retrax made to fit with the toolbox. Plus a Retrax works 1000 times nicer then the pace edwards.

that would work. Do I go direct with retrax?

You can go direct or you can buy from anyone that sells retrax.

You might as well go and buy a toolbox that you like. It's better to have the handels on the side of the box rather then the rear of the box.

You will need to measure the distance from the toolbox to the inside of the tailgate. They will then custom make your cover to work with the toolbox. It will take a few weeks. They will provide you with an angle iron to bolt to the rear of the toolbox to act like the front of the box if that make sense. Then you install the retrax like you would in a normal truck but it will be a bit shorter.

how much space does the canister take up behind the toolbox? That was the one nice thing about the tooltop that you didn't loose any more space in the box?

It takes up another 10 inches or so.
