Truck Box question

Has anyone attempted to take a normal (ranger size) truck box, and cut the top off, then remount the lid, and lock to make it a low profile truck box?
Is it even possible, or would it work?

My box is sitting at my fiancee's sisters house, so i havn't been able to look at it good enough to tell if it is do-able.

sure it's doable......but why? espicially since lo-pro boxes are out there....and they are decently priced. Trepaul86 got his for $40 used off craigslist. If it's diamond plate, I think it'll be a pain to get the diamonds to match up, and not alot of people know how to weld aluminum.

Thats what i was thinking.
I had gotten mine dirt cheap back when i worked for sears and never used it.
Guess i'll probably just end up looking for a low profile one to replace this one.
Esp for the time involved with doin it.

That'd be your best bet and sell the one you have an you might get lucky and break even.
